Chevron Bookcase Makeover


A friend of mine gave me this bookcase.  It was very simple, and basic, but had a LOT of potential!



I sanded everything down and painted with Benjamin Moore basic white.  They were phasing out this paint and I got each quart for $5 reg. $28.  SCORE!  I used basic white, Hale Navy, and Pewter.



Need a quick NO MEASURE & NO TAPE method for chevron?   
Use an overhead projector and a chevron transperancy.




I drew in the pattern with pencil and then painted 2 coats of the pewter and navy.

My Dad made me some feet for my bookcase using some old 2x4s.  I bought these at Menards, but they just werent working for me.  This is just what it needed.


My boys were so excited to have their new shelf in their room.  They couldn't wait to help decorate!



Have a GREAT DAY!!

  22. Hi! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when browsing from my apple iphone. I'm trying to find a template or plugin
    that might be able to fix this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share.
    With thanks!

  32. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any problems of plagorism or copyright violation?
    My website has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help reduce content from being stolen? I'd certainly appreciate it.
