Shelf Rehab

I have decided I am in the shelf rehab business--I take outdated, less than functional shelves and with some quick fixes, bring them into this century and add some function.  I shared this one:
           
and this one:

Here is my latest.  It started life as a glossy brown piece with some sexy curves.  I started sanding before I took this picture:
I was pleased to find a lovely shade of greenish turquoise under the brown. 
Some sanding, added some painted scrap boards on the back, hooks and another 80's shelf has been rehabilitated.
Keep your eyes open for these little diamonds in the rough.

  5. Loving all of your shelf redos. I often pass up these ugly little shelves at thrift stores but I think you've inspired me to try to make one over. Thanks for sharing this project.
