I missed up on some pictures..GRRRRRR..you will figure out with the above picture as you continue to read on,,LOL
So here is my take on the trim to the shelving. This secretarial is in my hallway upstairs. I had taped the gingham material for awhile and just finished hot gluing it on about a month ago. The paper on the back is scrapbook paper. That was just taped on the back.
I ended up getting this beautiful piece for free from my Aunt. I had it in my laundry room for years. I'm so glad I had hubby and I drag it upstairs to the dining room. I love the look. I placed gingham shelving paper inside and on the top too. You can click onto the picture to enlarge it.
I bought the little lights at a hard ware store for 13.99 for three. Later I found them at the Buck Store...so I bought three of them and placed them in the secretarial! Once again, I put scrapbook paper on the back of this china cabinet. My mother gave me her dining room set when she moved from her large house to a smaller one.
I lined the glass shelving with that gingham shelf paper. It actually has a rubber feel to it. I love it! I have placed it EVERYWHERE in my house. Overkill but I'm diggin it.LOL. Remember, the kitchen cupboards? I hot glued the shelf paper to the doors for a country farm look.
All these ideas here were found in blog land~! I find so much inspiration and encouragement when I visit blogs. Thanks for helping me make my house a home!

Been wanting to so something to my china cabinet. Painting it would be ideal, but I just don't have the oomph to tackle it. There is nothing wrong with the wood, but I just wanted to change it. Like the paper in the background, and I like lacy edges. Hmmmmm
Nice job on your things, Angela
Very nice.
Love it, love it, LOVE IT!!! "Overkill but I'm diggin it.LOL", lol, lol, lol!!
I know you had fun mimicking the pictures. I've never thought of doing that. Duh! I should find something I like and copy it. Duh -- again!
It all looks so nice, I have a china cupboard from my mom also.
This week I painted some trim on it black, it's french provential furniture style. Then sponge painted bloches of grayish white on it, and it looks really good for something different.
I love to decorate, and make things look nice, happy and homey. I love it :)
By the way, your decorations look so nice in your china cabinet. Love all your angels too!
Hugs to you, you are a blessing!
Thanks for sharing your pictures!
