when I started working on my screened porch, I knew I wanted a tall cabinet to hold pots, hand tool, twine, gloves, etc—and keep it pretty.
my husband built this for me. to keep the price down, he uses the cedar fence boards whenever he can. also, the shelves, tops and sides can be several small pine or cedar boards. the smaller boards are so much cheaper.
then I loaded it up with my garden stuff. the white tin holds the uglier stuff. the roses in the mason jar are from my garden last year.
I found this sweet birdcage (it holds my twine) for $5.00 at salvage sisters. I painted some peat pots and this one holds some dried roses. some others hold wire, seed packets and floating candles.
old tin pot holds gloves and clippers.
I hung this pot with a bit a lace on it on a shutter.
this pink angel mini chandelier was found on ebay about 8 years ago. lowes had chain sleeves on sale for .50 each last week!
if you are still reading—bless your heart!
thanks for looking, and I’m sharing with…


Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, Lynn! Who says functional can't be pretty, too! Love the bookcase and the color. All your accessories look wonderful on here. I love the tin you use to hold the "hard work" items.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Lynn, I love it!!! You have shabby down to a fine art! I just love how you mixed everything together to create a lovely vignette.
ReplyDeleteHappy May Day!
Hugs Rosemary...
You styled your shelf like a pro! It's a delight to look at. The pink is yummy!
ReplyDeletethe way you have it styled is just plain - STUNNING! GREAT PICS TOO! I just got a similar cabinet (it is currently crusty, dirty, muddy with chippy white paint underneath) so once I give it a good scrub & buff, my plan is to stage like you've done here. thanks for the awesome display for inspiration! xo

This is jaw dropping gorgeous Lynn! I love cabinets! :)
ReplyDeleteLove love love it. You did an amazing job decorating it, making it, displaying it. wow. I love it.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I think you need a pink painted planter the same color and then plant little pale pink
flowers in it. Just love it. My mind is whirling with cute ideas because of this. I love your blog too.
You really decorate and put things together in such a pretty way. Wow!
Have an awesome day!

I love this so much! Such a soft shade of pink and all of your garden accessories look amazing. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet and pretty, Lynn! I love the painted peat pots--what a great idea! And keeping everything garden-related handy makes so much more sense than trying to keep other, more decorative things there. I can't believe how dusty a screened porch can get, and these things won't mind the dust, yet they look very pretty. Thanks for sharing inspiration. ~Zuni PS - I'm following you now.
