80’s Shelf gets an Update
January 23, 2018 by 44 Comments
Hello amazing Friends! Remember the 80's? Remember 80's décor? Why did hearts cut into every home décor accessory and furniture piece seem to make so much sense back then? Thrift stores are filled with these unfortunate pieces and there are very few ways to update them, but every once in a while I get lucky. I found this shelf complete with heart cutout for $4.98: By get lucky, I mean that the piece with the heart can be whacked off... Instant update! That is usually not … [Read more...]
