before + after

How was your weekend friends?  Ours was fantastic! We played all day Saturday and enjoyed the sunny California weather.  Sunday was equally fun although I spent most the time indoors sprucing up our house.  I decided to spruce up the shelves in our family room since they have acted as a catch all for pictures, toys, diapers and junk for the past year.  With zero money and only items I had at home I did the impossible (or so I thought) and transformed these drab shelves to fab (at least in my mind).  What do you think?  Any space in your house you're are sick of and is need of a makeover?

If you noticed on this last photo, I resorted to displaying some of my cook books since I ran out of regular books.  They work now although in time I plan on adding more art, travel, fashion and design books. 

Also, after reviewing my pictures I have realized that I really need to learn how to use my camera. Any tips on how to use a Canon Power Shot SX10IS?  

Finally, I wanted to let ya'll know that A Spoonful Of Dish will be hosting giveaways for the rest of the week.  Yay!  I am so excited to show my loyal and patient readers some thanks for following me and sticking by me this last year.  

So, make sure to stop by all week to win some great stuff here at A Spoonful of Dish.
