fun bookshelf project




A little primer.



So I have a bit of a hard time fitting all of my clothes into one tiny dresser and a closet in my apartment bedroom. Recently, my mom kindly gave me an unfinished wooden bookshelf she's had in her house for awhile. It fits perfectly inside my closet, and it's a wonderful home for my clothes. Folded jeans fit perfectly. Tonight, I primed the shelf (no after pictures of the priming yet), and picked out a great reddish/pinkish/coralish color for the paint. I'm going to get paint that's as glossy as possible. So much fun!



I pulled a color out of a throw pillow on my bed that I got from Urban outfitters awhile ago. This paint swatch was perfect. I'm so excited to see how it looks on the shelf!
