Good morning blogbuds,
I happened to dig into my closet shelf last evening trying to find something, and I came across an old bookshelf that I have had for years. I wish I had thought to take a pic of it, but it was just the usual brown color. So, the brain cells started clicking. Pulled out the paint and mushed some colors together, sanded it a bit, and here's what came out of it.
So, I took my really old books, some of my classics, and added this to the bedroom.
Some wonderful classics in this pile.
Two of my favorites,
Wuthering Heights and
Jane Eyre. A VERY old nursing ethics book from 1940 -- that's the one where the binding is ripped.
English poetry.
Ben Hur.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Books I grew up with. And these colors are so nice and worn and well-loved !! Hope everyone has a good day and enjoys the spring-like weather (unless it is snowing where you are!)
Good morning blogbuds,
WoW! That was a short post! LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteI love the way those older books look on that shelf! And I like the way you "mushed" the colors together to get just the right look!
Another genius re do!
Oh I love Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights also, You did a fantastic job on the book case.
