I picked up this sweet corner shelf a while back for free. It had such sweet details and I could see it used in a little girl's room, with dolls, books, and ballet slippers. And let me apologize now because I do not have a before shot... GASP! No! She didn't! Oh yes, she did. Sorry.
Anyhow, moving on, because it had such a sweet feminine shape, I decided to go with a sweet feminine color, pink! I sanded it and then painted it with 2 coats (and a couple touch ups) of Benjamin Moore's Aura in Dream Whip, which was left from Emmy's vanity. Here it is on her vanity, to refresh your memory....
It's a soft shade of pink and not too cotton candy sweet.... more like strawberry ice cream sweet. Once it was painted, I lightly distressed the edges, and waxed it with a clear wax. Here is the after without a before! (It's like Sonny without Cher, Scooby without Shaggy, macaroni without cheese... I know it's a crime!)
Sadly, it's been sitting in my garage since it's been painted because I just don't think it is the season for pink yet! I may bring it to the December barn sale.... we'll see! I do love, pink, red, and aqua vintage ornaments together! :)

You are such a busy bee! I'm so jealous!
Love the little shelve.
I love the shape and soft color. How dare you jump to an "after" picture without showing us a "before". Ha. Kidding. I can picture it now, dark and ugly. You certainly made it light and pretty! Do some crashing today.

That shelf will fly out of the store...no doubt! And your followers are amazingly talented...already see about 5 links that I'm drooling over!
Lovely color! I am trying not to covet thy shelf but you ALWAYS score the best stuff and I'm jealz :)
Pink is always in season in my book, very sweet! :)
I think pink is perfect for the sweet curvy lines! And she would make a great gift for a little girl
(or a big one). I'd definitely take her to the barn. She'll be snapped right up!
Maybe that cute pinkness needs to stay in Emmy's room with her vanity sister?!!? Just saying :) Happy T-day week. Love u!
cute shelf! that is a nice pink. some pinks are too pink!
That is so sweet, and perfect for a little girl's room! (Maybe Emmy's, since it IS the same color as her vainity?!!) Which is so awesome in the little nook.
Sooooooo cute!! And pink is a great color for it :) bring it to the barn, maybe it will end up under a tree for a lucky little girl on Xmas :)
That shelf is so cute. I am always so inspired by your furniture makeovers, Cassie. You'd think I'd finish up a piece I started like 5 MONTHS ago seeing as I'm so smitten with your before and afters! I have too-many-projects-going-at-once-itis!
What a cute shelf! I love the pink! It would look so good in my little girl's room!

Just got home from Twilight. Loved it! I love that little corner cabinet too. Oh the little detail is so cute! It is perfect in Pink.
As always, lots to see here. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. -K
That will sell quickly! Pretty in pink and that's a lovely soft shade. Hope you had a good day. Are you cooking for turkey day?

I think any little girl would love those shelves in their room!
Thank you for hosting!
Such a cute little pink shelf! And I just had to say I have always wanted to go to Bingo. It may be kind of cheesy but it sounds like so much fun.
Pretty little shelf and the color is so sweet! You always find the best stuff!
