BOOKCASES AREN'T JUST FOR BOOKS



I CAME ACROSS THIS BOOKSHELF THE OTHER
DAY WERE ELSE BUT AT THE UNIQUE THRIFT STORE
AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT IT WAS MARKED $2.99
IT WAS IN ROUGH SHAPE BUT IT WAS ALL
WOOD AND HAD A VERY RUSTIC LOOK TO IT. 
I ALSO THOUGHT THE COLOR GAVE IT A UNIQUE 
FARM LOOK TO IT. I ENVISIONED IT
IN MY GUEST BATHROOM FOR TOWEL
STORAGE.

THE BEFORE
IT HAD SOMETHING STICKY ALL
OVER IT AND THE TOP HAD A STICKER DOWN
THE CENTER OF IT


AND MY AFTER AND A NEW PURPOSE
FOR THIS PIECE...



I LOVE HOW THE DISTRESSING TURNED OUT
I KEPT SOME OF THE ORIGINAL PAINT AND
WENT OVER IT WITH A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT GREEN.
I WANTED IT TO HAVE THAT WORN FARM LOOK.



I PUT IT RIGHT IN THE BATHROOM
UNDER A WINDOW AND ITS THE
EXACT PIECE I ENVISIONED IT TO BE


WHAT DO YOU THINK?
