A simple addition of bead board to the back of my IKEA shelving unit and its a whole new piece!
Here is the shelving before with no back piece on it. My dishes just don’t show up.
I went over to Lowes and bought a piece of bead board $20.00 and had them cut it to my specifications 36″wide x 76″high it left me with some large leftover pieces… I will find another use for those pieces. This is the back of the shelving unit before the board was put on.
We used small finish nails to attach the board to the back. This is back of the unit with board on it…sorry the pic is kinda funky with the lighting.
Within a few minutes… It was done!! No painting required!
I love the detailing and how it makes my cute dishes pop.
I have always loved white dishes and especially these lettered dishes from TJmaxx years ago. My lettered dishes look so cute in this lime green Tablescape
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with!
You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too!
I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
Karin, funny I was thinking you built the whole unit! I have used that beadboard for something similar. Years ago I added a piece to the back of the tea shelf I built with help from a neighbor. It was the first time I think I used our router, plus my scroll saw and our tablesaw. It was a fairly involved project and it turned out well! Just no room to put it up here... Actually, we took down a wine shelf from the previous homeowners... Might fit over our sink. ;)
Anyway, after all that ramble, I was happy to feature your post at this week's Share Your Style #380 for you. <3
Hope you had a nice St. Patrick's Day,
Barb :)
This looks amazing! I will be featuring your post in this week's Home and Garden Thursday, Kathy
Wow! What an amazing transformation and so simply achieved! It looks great; lov eit!
That is such a great idea. The shelf looks so much prettier with the back on it. Love it!
Fabulous addition-it definitely helps showcase your lovely dishes. Jane
Adding the bead board is a wonderful idea to do with any open backed shelving! Looks really good!
Love this!!
I love it, looks fabulous and fabulous dishes too.
