More Shelf Redos

I redid some more furniture pieces that were hanging around the house or in storage. This first one was in the house. Another prefab bookshelf. It still has a little life. The other two are very old pieces that were in my husband's family. They are over thirty something years old, that's all he knows. You will see the before and then the after. They ended up looking like weathered barn wood. I like it!

New Life for old lamp

I needed a place to display this beautifully shabby chic hat my sister gave me for Christmas. I took an old lamp that didn't work anymore, pulled out the cord, unscrewed the light bulb fixture in the top and spray painted it white. Now I have a hat stand.

Shabby Chic Bookshelf Redo

This is the beginning of my bookcase redo. This photo shows that it is a prefab bookshelf that was brown. Brown just isn't my color, so let's make this more my style.

This is the paint job. I had on hand a light gray paint and went over that with a light brush of white. It was very windy and I had to fight leaves and moss falling from the trees. But It dried quickly.

This is the end result of my redo. The trim was a christmas present from my sister and the lace from my mother. I just glued them on. I will use this in my room to put my shabby chic items and maybe show off some of my linens.
