This is instalment number 823495 of cute things I’m jealous of in my sister’s house. Don’t you love the transformation? It’s so fresh and cheery!
A few coats of green paint, new knobs from Anthropologie, and wallpaper to line the back of the shelves. Now she has pretty storage for all of her beautiful dishes and glasses. And she did it all by herself – the only casualty was green paint-covered feet!

Loving it! Is the wallpaper from a particular store? That pattern is adorable.
It’s actually wrapping paper I picked up in a little boutique in Portland– so much less expensive! I just used double sided tape to attach it behind the shelves.
Excellent idea, Carolyn!
I love everything about the “after” – the color, the birdie plate, the glasses, the knobs, the wallpaper – and now I am thinking how great wallpaper would look on the back-splash of my butler’s pantry. Seeing makeovers like this make me think about combining more of my favorite colors too – thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks, Linda! Amazing what a difference a little pattern makes!
Oh oh, I have one of these if you’d like it? Well at least I think I do…last seen being minded in my builder’s Dad’s cowshed along with huge gilt-framed paintings of Jesus and the Virgin Mary. (Yep, you read that right, welcome to Ireland). Anyway, it’s a beautiful piece from the fifties but we’d no room for it in the renovation, lovely to see above what can be done with them.
Oh, let’s do something fun with it!
