We liked it and wanted it and knew we would find a use for it someday. Well, the someday was today and it became our *nature shelves*.
We left the paint as is, keeping that extra character and time worn appearance, that can surely get by in our very casual log home.
We already have a Nature Cabinet in our kitchen, but these nature shelves will only have a few items at a time..to focus on.
one shelf with hornet and wasp nests
two shelves of field guides
and the bottom one of smooth white stones, easily reached by little hands.
happy day!

Why did I never think of that?! You are a genius!
We have nine indoor cats and a toddler who still stuffs things in his mouth. So I've always thought that a nature table was just out of the question. But a nature *shelf!* Now that's another story all together!
Happy day! *dances* Thank you!
LOL. Thanks.
You will notice it is higher on the wall than a very small child could reach. It was done on purpose for that very reason..we have lots of little visitors here The can still partake in it but not necessarily touch everything.
You can still have a nature table ...OR a nature TRAY! that you put up and down.. with appropriate things for little ones that they can't choke on..and be WITH them when they are exploring it.
happy day!
Oh how peaceful... what a lovely idea for all the bits and bobbles we collect on our walks.
Beautiful!!! I love how you've sorted it.
Great shelf with natures treasures, cheers Marie
What a lovely setting for nature finds. So well thought out.
This looks gorgeous! Like you I have a couple of old bits and pieces that have been rescued sitting in the shed waiting for their purpose to announce itself. I love you idea for preschool - our kids are forever bringing things back from bushwalks. Now to find just the right shelf....
I love it! What a great idea! Thanks for the great idea. Nature is better than art. Our home is filled with shed antlers, because they are beautiful. I like your cabin.
