This is a bit of a warning. When you read others' blogs, which is often as good as reading a magazine, you sometimes get ideas. Tucked away in in the back of your mind, these ideas can come forth at the oddest times. This little white shelf unit in my kitchen always seemed a bit stark to me ... just a nagging bother that something wasn't right with it. I was in a closet the other day and noticed some wallpaper I had found for a dollar at Good Will. Instantly an idea flew into my mind that I had seen on more than one blog. About twenty minutes later, my shelves looked a whole lot warmer.
