Bookcase Makeover ~ BEFORE and AFTER

Recently, I moved into a new booth at the antique mall.

It's so cute! I remember when the former dealers were

hanging up the doors on the wall...so cool!

Mine now! LOL!

 I put some repainted furniture pieces in it, which had sold 

right away resulting in stuff on the floor...

I had a back-up bookcase that I got from my

friend via a furniture swap...but, this brown

and orange didn't quite go with the shabby-ish vibe of the booth.

My friend's booth was very retro 1970's Brady Bunch kitchen style

that was filled with vintage Tupperware and Pyrex.

I was going to paint it shabby white right in my booth, instead of dragging it home...

{DH wouldn't be very thrilled with more furniture piles in the garage anyways!}

So, I thought I would cover up the orange with PAPER!!!

I guess I thought gluing paper would take 

LESS time than painting the whole thing...

It took OVER 3 hours to glue paper {ephemera}

to this piece of furniture...

I also added German Dresden Trim to the edge.

I like it!

I didn't bring enough paper, 

so I started using paper that I sell in my booth...LOL!

I'm glad I wore latex gloves or I would had been peeling

inked glue off my hands for the rest of the day...

Ta-da!

It looks so much better and blends in nicer 

with the booth...♥
