the bookcase project

So I finally found a bookcase.

As much as I wanted the one from Home Decorators, I just wasn’t going to be ok with spending over $400.

So I was pretty happy when I found this baby for $60 off craigslist.

It’s pretty butt ugly right now so I’m super excited to transform it.

I have so many great ideas for it.

1. Paint it a bright white. yummy.

2. Add a back and paint it a dark gray or yellow.

I’m pretty much obsessed with the contrast in the picture above.

3. Possibly add some detail to the sides. Like these fretwork panels from O’verlays

Stayed tuned on this one, I’ll be sure to update you guys on the progress.
