Of course it all started with Pinterest
(you can see for yourself... on my board Bookshelf Love)
It all started back here if you are interested.... (just click)
After rekindling my relationship with our power tools
and
a new appreciation for Wood Filler
and
a lot of white paint
I can finally reveal that my dream of building built-in bookshelves
has finally come true
et voilà .....
has finally come true
et voilà .....

and as you can see...
it is not a big space...
curious about the wall of art, that was a fun Saturday afternoon! You can read more about that here
The fun part of this project is that it cost under 50$
4 pine boards 1 X 8 X 10 30$
white paint 15$
wood filler already had

Wow, looks great! I think this was the perfect nudge I needed to go ahead with my built in ideas. Cheers, my dear! BTW I love your styling :)
ReplyDeleteYour book shelf looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
Oh wow, you did it! It looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks SO good! Thanks for dropping by and following me. I look forward to the exchange both here and on Pinterest.
ReplyDeleteDonna, they look great! You did a super job on them. I'm sure you'll get a lot of pleasure and storage from them too.
ReplyDeleteLove that, looks awesome!

I'm so impressed you built them yourself. They look fantastic. By the way, I love your motto for the year. You're going to get a lot done.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I'm curious about the framed piece! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteMaureen, that is a newspaper clipping from 1960 of an advertisement for an anniversary sale at our family business. I wanted these bookshelves to be home to some treasures such as that and the schoolbooks that belonged to my grandmother and mother.
DeleteI am so impressed with you. Really. My dearest wish is to be able to build something like this. You go!
ReplyDeleteCamille
Nicely done! There's nothing quite like wood filler and white paint to transform ANYTHING, I think!! Your shelves look really great with their makeover!

@all
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how a little stress in my life shifts me to a building project and convincing myself that I can do it.
Donna (see, I now know you as yourself in addition to knowing you as Anglo!)...I am impressed with your bookshelves and the fact you built them is great. Glad you have your grandmother's school books. I have a book that was my father's (Language and Literature, Book One, 1914) and I treasure his little boy's handwriting with his name inside the cover.
ReplyDeleteJill, isn't it amazing to have these old school books. I can actually picture my grandmother using these books. They are very special!
DeleteOne cannot have too many book cases! I'll be doing a similar project on either side of my fireplace soon, though I think I'll add feet to mine so I can take them with me when I move to a new home. :) I'm a little shy about saws, so KUDOS to you!

Oh what a beautiful room! I love the bookcases and the wall art! I would love curling up with a book here!
