In the process of the Professor's rearranging his home study this past weekend, an "extra but ugly" small bookcase came up for grabs.
Remembering of the dismaying tower of books on both bed-side tables and growing library now both on and under the tiny side table, I decided to try to reclaim the bedroom surfaces and floor by turning that ugly duckling into a swan.
I think I succeeded, thanks to allthingsheartandhome.com and 2 quick coats of the amazing Behr paint with primer.
What do you think?
Oh, and thanks again Sara!
As a wife to a professor, I understand the books! I love books, he loves books, our children love books and they are everywhere! Lovely bookcase.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH!!! I cannot believe that is the same cabinet. Woman, you need to come to my house and give it a face lift :)
ReplyDeleteI was JUST wishing I had one extra little bookcase for my bedroom. In my mind, it looked rather like yours! What a find!
ReplyDeletePiles of books help to make a house a home, I think. :) Enjoy your treasure.

HUGE improvement and money saver too! now you should list what books are on that shelf so the rest of us have some suggested reading!
ReplyDeleteVisiting from GitzenGirl...I am also the wife of a professor! (Wait, you mean other people don't have this many books?)
ReplyDeleteThe book case hardly looks the same! (It looks much better).
