Bookcase Redo

In the corner of my kitchen I have a bookcase.  I know at some point I had this decorated nicely.  What happened?? Over the last little while it’s become a collection of ….  ??   Because this bookcase was destined for a makeover I suppose I shoved anything in there for a time.

So here is the bookcase with ‘whatever’ shoved in there.

It’s actually quite a nice bookcase when it’s not shoved with ‘whatever’s’.

 

But I think it looks better with new ‘whatever’s” placed nicely in it.

I decided to leave the actual cabinet white and just change the backing.  Black seemed to be the best choice to make all my new white thrifty finds really pop.

The only thing that wasn’t found in a local thrift store was this lamp.

I removed the top shelf to allow for the new lamp and cut a hole so that the cord could disappear through the back.

No.. your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, I kept switching things around.

All the white vases, pitchers and the tureen ranged from $2 to $8.

 

All greenery from Michaels Craft Store.

 

  Don’t forget when you find the perfect piece in the not-so-perfect color, it’s nothing a little paint can’t fix.
