When we moved 6 1/2 years ago we brought this ugly bookcase (for some odd reason) and it has been down in a barn for about 5 years till I pulled it out and it was to DI or to my house for a makeover... as you can see I opted for the makeover. I love a good challenge. This a a cheep bookcase made out of Lamenant I had to replace one shelf and do a lot of painting.
I haven't decided but I think I might make some doors on the bottom. What do you think?
Added some moulding to the top and bottom that added a ton of detail.
I added some bead-board on the back and some 1x2s on the front of the shelves to make it thicker and sturdier-is that a word?? It's all done and holding some of my books and magazines, I just love storage! Don't you?
{Children's Rocking Chair}
My mother-in-law brought me this cute little children's rocking chair, it is pretty old and crummy looking. But it got a new paint job, heavy distressing and is feeling and looking better.
This book case is just fantastic!!! Great detailing on the crown, and my favorite part is the 1x2's on each shelf -excellent result! I think doors on the bottom would look perfect. It is a larger area and would make a nice balance. The rocker is definitely improved with a coat of paint!
