Outdated Heart Shelf- See What I Did With Mine!
The great thing about those HEART shelves everyone had, is they usually were solid oak. I just took the back off and there was a solid oak shelf which is timeless. But I never get rid of anything so here is what I did.
I found 2 wooded hangers, a small mirror to cover up the heart, and some old drawer pulls.
I painted them all to match then glued the mirror over the heart and added the pulls. There is was, a great towel holder for your guest bathroom.

Omg!!! I have 1 of these HEART shelves. We bought our house(a 1986 build) a few yrs ago and it is in the kitchen. I just took it down and chalk painted it white. It already has wooden knobs. But, now you have my mind goin because i have several of the OLDER wooden hangers ( why are the OLDER ones sooo hard to find???) And im goin to so borrow ur idea for my kitchen. Its done in Southern Farm house style...Thank you for sharing!!!!

Have a question about this project?
Great job! I love seeing something that is different for a change & is useful to just about anyone over 30! My bff has a wooden heart box for storing plastic bags (grocery or dollar store ones, ect) in to reuse. There is a heart (hole) for the entrance @ the top and a heart shaped hole at the bottom for exiting when you need to use one. It was his grandmother's so he is reluctant to toss it. I have racked my brain trying to think of how to "fix" it. I have painted it, but the hearts are still a necessary (sweet) evil! Any ideas??
