Spring Break Make over Book Case



This is my old bookcase minus the glass doors  I already took off. It is boring and tired with "peeling wood paper" on the doors...




first I spray painted the whole book case except the very back with black primer after lightly sanding...
then I spray painted white over the top, however , I did not like the coverage so I broke out the old paintbrush and painted two coats of white over this coat...
After sanding the edges and all the places I wanted distressed, I watered down black latex paint and brushed it on a section at a time wiping the excess off with a towel... After glazing or washing it with the black I sanded it a little more on the edges and then stained the whole entire piece with dark walnut stain let dry...
while it was drying I took the the flimsy back piece off the bookcase and mod podged fabric over the whole thing...
After the mod podge was dry I used my handy dandy staple gun and  stapled the backing on again...
Beautiful!!

I am so happy with how it turned out, What a transformation!Definately  drab to fab!
