playroom goods: $25 restore bookshelf


you know how i love my local habitat for humanity restore...

...huge solid wood book shelf,

$25.00. 

yes please!



this is the first time i have used zinsser primer. i did not want to have to sand this beast!

i loved the zinsser! 

to read more about zinsser, check out paige's project, here.

one coat of primer and two coats of paint.

i applied the paint with a small foam roller. it was so much faster than a brush. i still had to use a brush for the nooks and crannies, but overall this project went pretty fast.

about 6 hours.

here are the results:


this bookshelf offers tons of storage for $25.

it's always nice to have a little help filling the bins and organizing everything.


it's amazing what a coat of white paint will do, isn't it?


to see the rest of the playroom go here.

monday i will show you how i made the 3D wood numbers that are on the bins.

have a safe and fun halloween weekend everyone!

xoxo,
elisabeth
