Is there a follow up to this post? I bought these same shelves and just opened them. They look really yellow and I too want to paint them. I am trying to find the best paint and technique so I don't make these gorgeous, expensive shelves look cheap!

If you will call and quit my day job for me, I will come over and help you with your house. Deal?

:)

P.S. Thank you so much. That is a lovely compliment.

Thanks so much Erin, those teacups are my latest favourite things. :)

I haven't been to Pottery Barn in person for so long that I forgot how creamy their white is. I knew it wasn't going to be super white but it's waaaaay more yellow than I remember.

Thanks for the tips. I will for sure do that next time! :)

Thanks Donna. I won't tell you how long I fiddled with it to get it looking 'just right'. Lol.

I think I heard from some fellow readers that Pottery Barn is now carrying a White-White for their kids furniture. So far though, these particular shelves are only available in the antique white. Waaaaah!

Paint them! I hate it when things are a different color than you're expecting.

2014-01-10T13:30:32.714-05:00

I agree that they're a bit yellowy! You already bought them and have to look at them every day, so I say paint em!'

2014-01-09T22:54:34.282-05:00

Paint them! I would have gone through the same logic too. My "white" IKEA bookshelves have driven me crazy for two years now. Painting them is still on my to-do list and they still drive me crazy after two years!

2014-01-09T21:14:43.237-05:00

You have to look at these every day so you want to love them. Paint them!!! :)

2014-01-09T20:30:06.494-05:00

I agree Nicki! Maybe they sent you the "dud" ones that are too creamy! Otherwise, definitely paint them, you'll be much happier. Gorgeous shelves tho' :-)

2014-01-09T14:22:42.696-05:00

For sure paint them-but I feel your pain about painting something expensive and new! It is one of my biggest pet peeves when a company calls something "white" when it is really cream or ivory or even beige!! Most of Pottery Barn's stuff is that yellow-y white :( Their kids store finally introduced a "simply white" colour that is actually white! Hope PB does the same! I've taken to emailing companies (if I can't be there in person to see it) to ask--just emailed the other day about PB's valentine pillows and got this "Both items are an off white and monogrammed in the Sandalwood color. Please note that the lighting used when the photo is taken slightly alters the actual color." Really? Slightly? Sigh....

And love the styling on the shelves too--love the teacups on the mini cakestand!

2014-01-09T13:53:28.346-05:00

I have to say, they don't look too creamy yellowish in your pic. But I completely agree about PB's 'white'. I've returned several things there because of that. I say paint them though. It's an easy update. And you'll love them even more.

2014-01-08T22:29:28.520-05:00

Do they not sell them in a more bright white? Or is antique white your only choice? Because I would exchange them rather than paint them if that is an option. If it is not an option, I understand why you want to paint them white, especially with the white dishes you currently have on them.

2014-01-08T21:53:53.273-05:00

They look white enough in the first picture, but compared to things that are actually white in the last picture... I'd definitely paint them too!

2014-01-08T20:01:49.744-05:00

I KNOW!!! I recently bought one of their frames and had to get a custom matte made because the other one didn't go. Boooo to things that aren't white-white.

The little wooden building thingie was a Homesense find. I wasn't sure about it when I first bought it but now when I see it displayed I love it, too!

Thank you. I'll make sure to share the after pictures!

The little houses were a Homesense find a few months back. I was just there a few days ago and saw a few left in the Clearance aisle. I'm not sure they would have any where you live but it might be worth a try!

They look great do what pleases you:) Where did you get the houses on the top shelf? Love them.
