Saturday my Sweet Steve says,
"You know that shelf you have been wanting . . .
let's go buy the wood and I'll build it"
We got the wood Saturday
and by evening he had it built :)
Sunday afternoon he installed it . . .
and I started painting.
Here it is with the island rolled back
into the kitchen.
Now I have a place to display all of my
vintage kitchen collections.
Some are thrift shop finds
and some are gifts . . .
All are loved and add to the coziness
of our 1905 country home.
I love how it turned out . . .
and that my sweetie spent his Saturday,
do this for me.

I'm truly blessed.

ReplyDeleteIt was a very pleasant surprise when he said, lets go get the wood and build it We bought the wood Saturday morning and I had it decorated with my collections by late Sunday afternoon :)
DeleteHow nice of your sweet hubby to build that for you so that you would have a great place for your vintage collections! I would say he is a keeper! Nancy
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is :)
DeleteYour husband is almost as nice as mine! smile. I actually have to ask him NOT to build anything else because there's no room left in the house! He did buy a lathe on the weekend so that should keep him busy now.
ReplyDeleteI like all your vintage items so well arranged too.
I will be looking forward to seeing what he builds you with his new lathe. You might just have to add on to your home, LOL.
DeleteIt looks amazing!!

ReplyDeleteIt was fun . . . and it's nice having these things out where we can see them :)

DeleteGreat job, Steve! What a nice hubby. Talented, too. You two might quite the team! I love that you have a lot of space for your pretty vintage collections.
ReplyDeleteWe are always saying that apart neither one of us amounts to very much, but put us together and we make a pretty darn good person, LOL. So, we better just stick together :)
DeleteLucky you!! That is a stunning set of shelves, and I greatly admire all your carefully chosen treasures.
ReplyDeleteThank you . . . many of them were gifts from my sweet neighbor :)
DeleteYou are very blessed indeed. Hubby reminds me often he is no carpenter. I have to piece our wooden puzzles together building and repairing.
ReplyDeleteI am blessed and believe me, I appreciate him, too :)
DeleteGosh Connie, it is perfect! Looks like it has always been there. Perfect for your special treasures. Love your milk sign as well.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Hello Jann, I made that milk sign about five years ago . . . and have had it in this kitchen and in my home before this one. I love the new shelf, it gives me a lot of options for displaying treasures.
DeleteSuch a lovely husband and very handy with his hands. Mind you I have one too like that, so we are both blessed xxx
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to have a handy man around the house. We both do share in that blessing . . . handy and sweet, what a great combo :)
