Bookshelf Facelift

Here is my first painting project of the summer. This book shelf is over 40 years old. It was my brother's, mine as a kid and now holds our books at home. It was in dire need of a face lift. I found some really great non-toxic paint and primer at a little paint shop in Fullerton.   

Primer



Blue like my dining room chairs



A little distressing 

Tada! I feel like I bought something new.

Wow! What a difference paint makes. It looks great! How did you find time to do that with little Jude running around? Did Ella help you paint?

Did the project with JM at night when the kids were asleep. Took pictures of the bookcase during the day though.
