Hope Hiding In A Broken-Down Bookshelf




One of my favourite things in life is when I come across an ugly piece of furniture while thrifting, but I can see potential in it.


That's when I strut up to that checkout like I just won the lottery.

And that's how I looked while buying this ugly bookshelf a couple of weeks ago.

I'm sure people wondered WHY I would pay money for this monstrousity. Even if it was only $8.99.

The shelves were peeling and cracked. But I liked the dark wood. And I had a plan.






A few years ago I used some 'Stainless Steel' Contact Paper on my dishwasher (see post here).

I had some of that Contact paper left over, and that I what I had planned to use to fix up this bookshelf.

You just have to be careful to smooth out the bubbles as you go.




Here is the finished product. I'm SO happy with how it turned out!

Not bad for $8.99!




It will be perfect in my home Lash and Beauty Bar once I get it all set up!


Thanks for reading friends!



Blessings.
