On to the project, my mom bought two bookcases for my sister and has assigned them to me to "fix"... I have finished one of them & here it is...
Before:
It has holes in it already for cords/wires that will be nice for lamps.
After:
I painted it white and on the inside used Wythe Blue from Benjamin Moore, then finished with a charcoal glaze.The shelves were decoupaged with vintage sheet music that were
inspired by this post by Miss Mustard Seed.
I love vintage sheet music..the text & color variations are so charming.
That island from last week sure came in handy. I had this project all over the house!
Here's a close-up of the glaze. I mixed it and that was trial & error.
I learned alot from this one!
So I can check this off my list...this weekend I'm painting the master bedroom. I have prepped the walls, picked out the paint & psyched myself up to finish in one day while my husband is at a karate tournament. Wish me luck!
I'm party linking to: Miss Mustard Seed's Furniture Feature Friday,
and Frugalicious Friday at Finding Fabulous, Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch & Make It For Monday at Cottage Instincts...follow the links to see what everyone has been working on!
Isn't it amazing what paint can do? Great job! I love the sheet music shelves.
ReplyDeleteThe lines of those bookcases are beautiful! And I love the blue peeking out from the back. Just gorgeous!

Love the sheet music shelves. Very cute! The color is great too!
ReplyDeleteThat's the color I want to paint my guest room one of these days. (It's currently mustard with burgundy and green thrown in - a little heavy for my taste.) That is one gorgeous bookshelf, honey! Maybe I'll come steal it for my guest room instead of you giving it to your sister - the color I want AND music - it's like you made it FOR ME! :) haha!
ReplyDeletesooooo cute!! great job, I love the lined shelves
