simple shelf to better shelf

I've wanted a long shelf with "drawers" on it from quite a while but I just couldn't find one. So I went on a hunt for a shelf I could "mess with" I got this shelf last week at Michaels for $8 using a 40% off coupon. It is cute but doesn't have very much personality.

 So after running to Lowes and grabbing $6 in wood I was able to whip up this bad boy! I Took the two boards and made a L shape and added three most boards cut to about 10 inches each and nailed them onto the front for the drawers.

Added the knobs that I got for free, and painted it Valspar Foxtrot, a lovely creamy white color.
Here it is all hung up and layered with decor.

 The shelf is 4 feet long and about 6 inches wide so I can put lots of stuff on it. I love stars, can you tell?? The brown shutters are just wood slats for fences they are 98 cents each for 3 footers just cut assemble and stain ta da hand made shutters..

 I finally Found some hardware that I liked to go with my table, aren't they loverly? If you don't know Hobby Lobby has all their harware 50% off on the last week of the month.. 50% off people that is a good deal! I got each one of these for $2 each.

So that is how you can take a simple shelf and make it better.
Thanks for coming.
