New old shelf...

Hi everyone!
Hope you're all enjoying the weekend!

I wanted to show you a little project I've been working on.




I got this little shelf a couple of years ago at flea market booth for ten dollars and it's been sitting in my basement waiting to be used.


I didn't know what to do with the blank space above our massive, hulking TV.  It was missing something and the room didn't seem balanced to me.




You can see the space somewhat in this old pic.

 


So I got hubby to hang it up, I'm kinda liking it!



Whadda you think?


Thanks for dropping by today and be  blessed!

    It looks great! I hate our big old t.v as well and wished it was in a cabinet with doors.~Cheers Kim

    I think your shelf looks great there, Kim. Love the tv stand too. The accessories are perfect, especially for summer. We got our first huge-o flat screen a few months ago and love it and have it on an old buffet in the family room. Just no room for the boxes.

    I think it looks great. I like that your eye floats up to the shelf and not just the "massive" tv (I have one of those massive tv's myself, so I can say that) :)

    I love it and I love all your sea treasures! We have a shelf above our massive TV as well and it works so well to even out the room. The drift wood boat is perfect and did you make the monkey knot? Love that other little boat too, so cute!!

    Have the same problem, even with a cabinet....
    I love the shelf. Perfect. It draws the attention away from the tv.
