Hello! I apologize for the lack of posts recently. As the weather warms up and the days become sunny and beautiful, its hard for me to take the time to sit down in front of a computer. Anyway, remember the shelving unit I built for my hubby out of salvaged barn wood? My Restoration Hardware knock-off? Well.....Ive always admired it, BUT, I built it for my hubby, so, it was for him to use for his collections, not mine.
He recently found an awesome iron shelf with a big X in the back, very similar to this that he loved, with the exception being that the one he found was all metal. And he was running out of room on the shelf I built for him. So, being the wonderful, selfless man that he is, he gave the reclaimed shelf to me to use in our dining room. Yay!! I didnt waste any time putting my ironstone collection on it. And the fun part is that it inspired me to completely redo our dining room, right down to the curtain rod.
Heres the shelving unit....

What was even better was that he also found some large industrial castors to put on it for me. When I first built it, there were smaller ones and I wanted larger ones to add a little bit more height to the shelf, but at the time, we couldnt find any. He found these at our local metal scrap yard, for free.
The large clock on the top of the shelf is vintage and was purchased at a yard sale, also by hubby. I absolutely love it!
