Upgraded Shelves
$20-30
Medium
We put up the wallpaper about a year ago and painted an old dresser to use as a sideboard. To add a little storage, Hubbs and I put together some shelves above the sideboard.
We made the top shelf using common board (11.5 inches wide), basic braces, and chair rail trim. We attached the trim to sit about 1/2 inch above the outer edge. For the lower shelf I wanted something more like a plate rail.
I used a picture ledge from Ikea and added more of the chair rails trim around the outside to give a bit more of a cottage look. Perfect! Stay tuned for more pics of the dining room all put together!

I'm stealing this idea! I'm in the process of redoing my apartment and am doing this. But didn't know how to incorporate it. This is so pretty and bright. Never thought of painting the dresser white and the paper. Thanks!
