This is a bookshelf I found on trash day. It was homemade and probably storage from someone's garage. |
The back they had put on the shelves was thick and uneven. I wanted to cover it with trim. |
The front also needed some trim. I had four spindles and was too lazy to go to the store to buy trim. I used the spindles to trim out the edges. I glued and screwed the spindles to the edges to give it a cleaner look. The final step was to prime and paint it.
I was featured here this week (with another project). This is my favorite place to party on Thursdays. Check out http://myrepurposedlife.com

Oh my goodness - you made that amazing! I love how it turned out!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I did it really fast and liked how it turned out!
DeleteDumpster diving is so much fun! Love what you did with the bookshelf. What fun touches you added with the spindles.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the kind words. There is nothing better than upcycling something that was free. I am mildly obsessed with spindles (along with a few other things) and use them often.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
I like how you added the spindles! very cute!

ReplyDeleteTurned out very cute! Most people would have passed that up it was so rickety looking but you've worked magic on it! :o)

Unbelievable transformation! Very creative.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. Sometimes when I am in the garage working late (I have this job thing that really interferes with my crafting) I think is this really going to work, or have I lost my mind. Sometimes it turns out like you thought it would. This was one of those times.
ReplyDeleteTerrific find- what a wonderful transformation - a real Cinderella story there! I am delighted that you shared with Home and Garden Thursday,
