Vintage Shelves

What once was gold and beautiful.... is now Sea Salt Blue and GORGEOUS!I have always liked these shelves that once graced the walls of my moms home, passed down to her from my great-gandmother, but never the color.
I have yet to find that special place to hang them so until then I think they look great as bookends.
