Good sunny, HOT morning lovies~~whew, it's hot and humid this morning. I guess we'll just have to go out on the boat today....*wink.I wanted to share my cute shelves that hubby put together for me. We got the idea from Rog and Laurie at Heaven's Walk. They made some for their beautiful home using scrap pieces of woodwork. Rog had a box full of pieces in his barn, and shared some with us. We added pieces off our own scrap pile and ended up with a couple of nice looking shelves to hang here at lakehouse.
Hubby put hooks on this one for the downstairs bath. I love how it looks in there....it added a beachy tone. I put together a pan of other beachy items to go with the shelf.
I would absolutely love to paint the bead board white in this room...but I promised to leave one room in this lakehouse with actual "wood" showing. It's a "man thing".
Little does hubby know I'm planning to paint the upstairs bead board white once winter comes...another *wink.
Once that bath gets a couple coats of white paint, I'll ask for more shelves made from the vintage woodwork scraps. Maybe I should have the shelves made BEFORE I paint the bead board.Time to get the boat loaded up for another scorcher of a day here at lakehouse.
mmmmmmm....summer.
Smooches....

ReplyDeleteI saw your comment on Alaina's blog....my mother in law came over and I know she hates the white stuff. But then I had a friend come over ewwwing and awing over it all, I am sure she thought we were insane!
Hi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteI love your shelves, and your bathroom is wonderful! I love anything with a beachy theme, so I really like your shells in the mason jar, and the starfish, too! What is it about men and wood?! Hubby likes wood, LOTS of wood! And I love to paint it:) Very hot & muggy here, too. Spent 3 hours on the boat today, which was heavenly! Have a great day!
How funny....the minute I saw the first bathroom picture I said.."why isn't it painted white??"....then I kept reading and you answered that question....I think when the hubby is asleep one night you need to get out the paint....I'm just saying!!
ReplyDeleteNice to have a husband who handy making things! I understand the compromise with the husband thing-I guess we're lucky to get to do all that we do! Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue!
ReplyDeleteBeen enjoying browsing thru your lovely blog! Love the whites in your bathroom & can't wait to see it after you paint it! I'm sure it will be beautiful!!!
Happy White Wednesday!

What is it with men and their wood?! We've got a couple pieces of furniture that I want to paint, but hubby wants them left the natural wood color. Oh well, he asks for so little around here, so I'll leave it alone! I love your shelves and all of your white accents. It all looks so fresh and beachy!
ReplyDeleteHappy White Wednesday!
Carol
Great look!!! Enjoy your time....
ReplyDeletewell if that's not the most perfect look for a lake house i don't know what is! i love all those white accents.
ReplyDeletethanks so much for stopping by the cape on the corner, and for appreciating my humor in my eggplant post. it looked too much to not say anything, lol. you are right, growing your own is extremely rewarding!
hmmm, so I WAS wondering why it was not white...I should have known! Hope your hubby doesn't read your blog. lol
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty! White or not, it's so cottagey charming! The shelves are wonderful! That big bowl filled with sponges, shells, etc looks great.
ReplyDeleteOh how very cool!!!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
Paint it baby, paint it.
ReplyDeletePaint that beadboard....just kidding.
If the man makes cool shelves for you, then let him have the beadboard.
Your bath has the perfect lake effect!!
If you are lucky enough to live by a lake...you are lucky enough! Wish I had a lake to jump into...it will be 110 today!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteYour bathroom is looking wonderful! You know I LOVE all your enamelware goodies!! Can't wait to see the space once you've painted it.
Have fun on the lake!!
Hugs ~ Jo :)
Beautiful..but as a mother of five boys...and a girl who gives them a run for the money in messiness...I don't know I will ever see the "white" decor
ReplyDeleteIt's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.....my mantra! lol!
ReplyDeleteYour shelves turned out just beautiful, sis! There's more wood for you in the pile when you need it! lol!
