The kitchen at our current house is not my fav. The counters are pretty 70's and the paint job of the cupboards is really bad. I've had a hard time deciding what to do with the area above the sink.
At our old house, I had a mirror above the sink. It was nice because it made the kitchen look bigger. The current space didn't fit any of my mirrors and so I have left it empty for some time. When we got home from the beach this last time, I was trying to think of a good way to display all of the cool rocks and shells that we collect on our beach visits. I remembered some old jars that I got from Jake's mother. I went out in the garage and scavenged around for a bit. I found a white shelf I wasn't using and a frame that had some older pics of the kids in it. I thought it would be fun to have some beach pics in the frame and have a beach theme going on in the kitchen.
I kinda feel like beach themed rooms can either be really fun or really scary. I am hoping to lean towards really fun. I told the kids that we were only putting select shells and rocks in the jars. We come home with some pretty interesting things.
Anyway, the pics are before and after I painted the shelf and frame. My sister gave me the idea to paint the shelf green (to match the counters). Give me your feedback...do I need to change anything?

I love it. It's not scary, and I know what you mean about the dangers of a beach theme. Painting the frame made a huge difference--what kind of paint did you use?
I think it looks fabulous.
Honestly...
You've always had a way of making things look so nice. I've always admired that in you.
