Bookcase Facelift

Living in the city I have grown to love and appreciate little things like shelves, cupboards and bookcases. Space is always a problem and finding new ways to store that which we do not want to toss is a continual problem. All city dwellers will agree, finding a solution that fits your decor, personality and pocket is not always easy and when found gives one a sense of sheer joy and pride.

This bookcase is an old McNamee's piece, it was covered with an off white PVA paint and was rather boring.

 

Very plain, nothing interesting and I must be honest a little depressing.

 

 

 

As I am a great fan of wood, love the colours, love the grains, I decided the off white PVA coating had to go.  I stripped the entire unit and to give it a little something more painted some Lillies on the back panel.  Lillies being the favourite flower of the lady purchasing the bookcase.

 

 

I love my job
