New Shelf

I saw the idea for a shelf over a door in a magazine and I liked it, but I wasn't sure where to put it. I decided over the living room doorway in the hall would be good since it doesn't have a frame or door on it and if I stained the shelf to match the other woodwork it would balance out the hallway. We made this shelf from scrap wood from the mud room project. Hubby even cut stars out of the ends for me. It probably should have been a little more narrow, but that's the size the wood was and I didn't want to add more cutting to the project.
