Summer Art Project
It was time for the old $5 bookcase to go. I needed something bigger. And bluer.
I found this in an antique store over in Nob Hill (Albuquerque, not San Francisco),
bought two cans of paint — La Fonda blue and Woodrow Wilson white,
and voila!
Please don’t point out that it’s already very full. I’m trying to overlook that fact.
I added some color to my Navigating a Debut Year poster, too.
Gorgeous!
I’m still looking for the best spot to hang my “Navigating a Debut Year” (more like “navigating a writing life”) poster. My office is a wreck right now, but soon I will turn in this revision and sort myself out. :)
Writing life is a better name.
I’m often digging out from piles on my desk.
You painted that my favorite color. My toenails are that color! I recently went through a lot of my books and got rid of about 200 of them. Still, my bookshelf is full! I don’t know where I put all those other books before. Insanity.
Isn’t it a perfect color? Very New Mexican, I think. I have a hard time getting rid of books, though when I do, more always creep in to take their place.
Caroline! It looks perfect! What a great way to add color and showcase your books. :)
Glad you like it. I’m really pleased with the way it turned out.
So cute! I LOVE the color, and I think bookcases are meant to be full to bursting. With books, of course. Not others stuff.
Thanks!
Love it! Please make me one. Thanks. :)
Yes, ma’am. You may have one, along with a pack of sparkly pencils. But you have to come to Albuquerque to claim it.
Hmm… blogger just lost my comment on this but it was along the lines of… one of my favorite things to do is repurpose something old into something unique and useable. And this is absolutely beautiful. WTG! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Jackee. Glad to know you’re back blogging.
