Wifey wanted a couple of "rustic" looking shelves for our mud room makeover, so I thought I could pull off rustic alright. These two shelves were made from cross beams from utility poles from where I grew up. The benches are made up from a dining table that had been passed down through the generations, perhaps undeservedly, as it has lived through a fire, and spent most of the last 50 years in storage, and then we started storing again once we outgrew it. So we breathed new life into it by cutting it in half, cutting the legs down to bench size and screwing it to the wall. You may also notice the laundry baskets that Herself bedazzled (or whatever, I'm sure I didn't use that correctly) with burlap-ish fabric and our initials Mod-Podged onto them, because, well; HELLO! you obviously can't put folded clothes into a plain plastic container. I'm sure the clothes will stay folded longer and their colors won't fade...
And then the girls decided to dress up the boys as Grooms. They then decided that they looked more like Little Lord Flauntleroy. They instructed each to say as he came out "G'day to ya, Guv'na"...
