POWW 89

Happy POWW!

Before I get to my redo, I wanted to let you know I am a guest today over at Bird and Branch Redesign sharing one of my favorite friendly spaces in my home.  Here is a hint- this room is getting used this week! :)

Yesterday I shared with you a dresser I found while yard saling with Gwen.  Well, I told you she was a good luck token.  I may just call her Rabbit Foot from now on.  OK, Gwen?  I mean, Rabbit Foot?  Horse Shoe?  Anyhow....I found this bookcase when I was with her as well.  For $5.  Sweet.

I am sharing all the details over at The DIY Club.  I mixed my own color of milk paint for this one, so check it out!  I am going to share a quick before and after here for you.
Before:

After:


Isn't it sweet?  I can see it in a nursery or a boy's room.
Anyhow, what have you been up to?

Cassie,

Everytime I visit I think to myself....why.....why do I not have any furniture to link up. What about monogrammed beds? Would that count?

Hmmmmm.

BTW....I love the bookshelf that rabbit foot helped you find. It would look awesome on the wall, too!

blessings,

$5 for that adorable book shelf? Can't wait to check out the tutorial. I have never used Milk Paint, except in a class. Always have meant to, maybe now is the time!

Lisa @ Trapped In North Jersey said...

sigh...for some reason my picture in the linky isn't showing up and I can't delete it or try again. :-(

lovely bookshelf, btw :-)

Sarah @ Modern Country Style said...

I always wish I had more rooms so I could fill them with things to paint just so I could link up more often!! I love coming to snoop at what other people have done...but I like seeing your projects best of all!

You can call Gwen what ever lucky item you want, but I'm gonna call you Wonder Woman for everything you get accomplished. Chalk paint too?
