Weekend Finds

Friday morning I stopped at an estate sale and the only thing I bought was this cute little bookcase. I especially like it for its size. It's only about 18" wide and about 5' tall. It didn't have a back but that's no problem, as we go to Home Depot or Lowes about everyday.

It's nice and sturdy and had never been painted. I looked in our stash of scrap lumber and found a piece of bead board that would work. Mr. Shabby was kind enough to cut it to size for me.



 

Here I have primed both pieces.

 

I painted the bead board back a pretty shade of blue from the "oops" department at Home Depot. Then I propped the back to see if I liked it. I did.

 

I can't believe I started working on this Friday morning and finished it Saturday afternoon. I don't get many easy projects like this.

 

This is a little retro cabinet I've been working on. It has neat doors. I should have this project finished this week.

 



On Saturday I went to an estate sale and bought this beautiful, 5 stack barrister bookcase. It's in wonderful condition. The finish is original, the knobs are original as well. All the glass is old and wavy. I can't tell you what I paid for it, but I'm asking $1,295.00.



 

 

I also found this rusty, crusty commercial magazine rack. All I plan to do with it is seal it so the rust won't rub off on merchandise. This is the second one of these I've found recently.

I have to keep the projects coming and this little table fits the bill. I will paint it and change out the knobs. After it all gets glued back together, of course.

 

I don't really need any more cookbooks but these looked pretty interesting.

 

And, can you believe I found another cute ladder? This one is going to get painted a real funky color!
