Key Largo, Montego, Baby Why Don't We Go

So, I found this beauty on Craigslist.  I actually wasn't interested in it at all, but it came with something else that I really wanted.  I'm waiting until the weather warms up to finish the other piece in the garage.  Who knows when that will be, I'm staring out the window now and it looks like a blizzard outside.  Yuck!  Anyways, this shelf was small enough I could bring it inside to paint.  




Primed and ready for some paint, in a fun KEY LARGO blue color.  I chose a paint specifically designed for cabinets, doors & trim from Ace, in a semi-gloss finish.




After a couple coats of paint...


I found a four pack of knobs at Target for $6.28.  I decided to stick with the satin nickel finish, so it matches the rest of the hardware in our bathroom.


I got this little cordless drill for Christmas.  I used it for installing the new knobs and it worked perfectly.  (The old knobs screwed into the front of the drawers and didn't go all the way through.)  I love the 90 degree attachment on the drill, it made my life much easier!


The Key Largo color is a pretty close match with the blue in the shower curtain.


Hung up securely on the wall, thanks to my husband.  Thank you Chris!

Right above the tub

I think it pulls the room together, don't you?

And just in case you want to listen to a little Beach Boys


I really wish I was on a beach in Key Largo right about now, but instead I'll just enjoy my new Key Largo shelf.



Cheers!
