Over the door shelf

OK, I know "we are going to work on the rest of the cabinets" was stated all of 12 hrs ago....change of plans.  Yesterday before I started 'blogging' I was painting a shelf.  I found this idea on Pinterest (which I am obsessed with BTW) you get 2 shelf brackets and a piece of wood and hang it above the door.  Simple and a great was to store things decoratively.  I put a little twist to this idea and purchased some decorative brackets and got a 12 ft piece of wood cut into three equal pieces.  On top of the brackets I put the 3 pieces of wood, it makes it look a little more shabby chic (which I love).  It is a great place to put those nick knacks that just make the room look a little over crowded.  Also on mine I put a basket and inside I have office supplies that aren't used very much.

Here is a picture of some of the items I put on the shelf.  I am not in love with it yet, but I will play with it for awhile and find what looks perfect!

Here is a photo of what the bottom looks like.

I am in love with these new shelves and am planning on eventually having them in EVERY room!  In the bathroom it is a great place to decoratively fold towels and they are right there when you need to use them.
