A Little Red Wall Shelf

This Circa 1970's wall shelf in my dining room was a recent Goodwill find. 

It was "50% Off Everything in the Store Day", so it cost me only $5.

Mind you, I was happy enough with the original $10 price tag!

All the plates except the larger multicolor one, also came from

Goodwill at $1-2 per piece.

The shelf was a forget-able brown wood in need of some TLC

when I first brought it home. I actually had photos of it before

I painted it this rich red, but they got lost on my hard drive

now infested with a nasty virus.

I know its bright, but I love the color red and try to incorporate

it somewhere in all of my decor.

I added the bronze stenciled motifs just to dress it up a bit.

I adore color!
