D.I.Y. Zen Shelves

"What color will I paint them?" is the first thought that comes to mind with wooden shelves.

Just paint? How about embellish and decorate? Wooden shelves may be a functional item for your home, but they don't need to be boring.

By adding various elements to your shelves, such as flowers, fabric, rhinestones and even photos, will give boring shelves a little flair!
