Farmhouse Bathroom Shelf Makeover

Farmhouse Bathroom Shelf Makeover

Hey friends! It’s that time again where I join the uber-talented ladies below for this month’s Thrifty Style Team where we bring you pretty decor projects that won’t break the bank!

Redhead Can Decorate | 2 Bees in a Pod | At the Picket Fence | Bliss Ranch | Chatfield Court| Cottage at the Crossroads | The How-To Home | DIY Beautify | Duke Manor Farm | I Should be Mopping the Floor | Salvage Sister and Mister | Smart Fun DIY | The Painted Hinge | What Meegan Makes Homeroad The Creek Line House

One of my cousins gave me this shelf while she was purging her garage (thank you Marie Kondo!). I couldn’t pass it up since the price was right (free!).

Supply List:

  • Rust-Oleum Universal Metallic Paint and Primer In One in Oil Rubbed Bronze (where to buy)
  • FolkArt Outdoor Metallic Paint in Pure Gold (where to buy)
  • Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint in Linen White (where to buy)
  • Rust-Oleum Protective Topcoat in Matte Clear (where to buy)
  • Bronze Coat Hooks (where to buy)
  • E6000 glue (where to buy)

This is NOT a sponsored post. I only share products and decor that I’ve purchased and loved! Some of the links in this post are affiliate links from Amazon. If you make a purchase through one of these links, I may make a small commission at no additional cost to you. If you do purchase through one of my links, thank you so much for helping keep my blog content free for everyone to enjoy!

Both brackets where broken on the backside right above where the bottom bar attaches. I used E6000 glue and clamps to fix them up. E6000 is a great multi-purpose glue that can be used on just about anything. It’s always my go-to glue for crafts that require a glue that holds strong as well as fixing broken stuff like these shelf brackets.

The shelf had coffee cup hooks which I wanted to replace with coat hooks. The coffee hooks had somewhat of a sharp edge at the tip of the hook. I wanted to use the hooks for towels I was afraid the coffee hooks would catch and rip the towels.

I loved the bronze finish on the coat hooks and decided to duplicate it on the brackets. I sprayed the brackets with Rust-Oleum Universal Metallic Paint and Primer In One in Oil Rubbed Bronze. Once the paint was completely dry, I used FolkArt Outdoor Metallic Paint in Pure Gold, rubbing it on lightly with my index finger to copy the bronze finish on the coat hooks.

I painted the wood pieces of the shelf with Rust-Oleum Chalked Paint in Linen White, applying two coats and allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. I lightly distressed using 220 grit sandpaper and then applied Rust-Oleum Protective Topcoat in Matte Clear to seal the paint.

Once the clear wax was completely dry, I screwed the wood back together with the brackets and attached the new hooks.

I really like how it turned out!

I’m using the shelf in our master bath above our bathtub. We have a separate shower stall with towel racks, but we needed a good place to hang towels for the bathtub. The shelf works perfectly for hanging towels and I love that I can decorate it too!

    I love how you turned this little shelf into so much extra storage for your bathroom! I probably never would have given it a second look in its original state, but I love what you did with it!

This month's theme is decorating with frames, so I jumped into the blog wayback machine to see what I could dig up that would fit the theme. I found this fall wreath from 2014 when I was in a shabby chic phase. Do you think it passed the test of time? ⁣

There's much more where this came from - you can get the directions on how to make one of these frame wreaths for yourself as well as check out all the fabulous frame ideas from all the LOL ladies on my blog - link in my profile.⁣

Grab a stubby milk can, fill it full of corn stalk Grab a stubby milk can, fill it full of corn stalks and you got yourself a nice front porch display for fall. Got critters that would eat the corn? Do it sans corn (just the cornstalks). Want to see more pics of my fall front porch? Click the link in my profile! Happy Sunday! ⁣
