One of a kind shelves

Good evening, I hope you had a great Wednesday. My life revolves around the baby these days so when my husband got home I had a moment to run upstairs to blog about my love for re-purposing pieces from old homes. Some think I am crazy, but if I could I would have a house filled with old trim, moldings, registers, shutters, and anything else that you can dig up from an old attic or barn that you can re-use in your house. Today I would like to show you how I took the old trim from around my husbands grandmothers windows, that had been stored in an attic for years, and used them as shelves. The best part is that they are so unique that you would never be able to find them in any stores around! I am always looking for pieces like this at flea markets and old barn sales so you can only imagine how excited I was when I came across these. My father-in-law thinks that I am crazy...but hopefully you find them as charming as I do. :)

This is a picture of only one so that you can really see what it looks like close up. I didn't even have to paint it, I loved the rustic charm.

This is the picture of how they are hanging on my wall. I have two of them kind of staggered as you can see. I forgot to mention that I have old iron fireplace grates, that I found at a flea market, sitting on the shelves. I thought that they would look neat as wall art when I happened to find them. If you keep your eyes open I have noticed that there are always treasures waiting to be found.
