After procrastinating, I finally painted the island. Then, I learned that I needed to let the paint cure for thirty days. THIRTY DAYS!?!
Well, I did follow that suggestion. The items that had been stored on those shelves sat here and there and some perched on the dining table and were moved back and forth and around for all that time.
Finally, the cure time was met and I sorted and have been reading through cookbooks. The reading continues but I have begun loading styling them back onto the shelves.
There is not so much styling for beauty as for organization and for storage. I love all the cheerful colors and happy titles. I also love that they are handy and can provide inspiration and ideas for good meals. Of course, we also stash other items there for easy access. Those items might not be so happy and cheerful looking but I'll concede that it is a good storage space for The Mister's necessities.
I decided that baskets would keep those corralled and would look sort of happy and cheerful as well. Most of the time nobody will even notice these shelves because we keep our small table that we dine at daily there.
Still, I know what's there and how it looks and it makes me smile to have a new refresh!
