Shelf Unit Makeover

This shelf unit has been purchased for $5. It was waiting in our garage for its big moment and finally I had a chance to refinish it. Currenly I am working on preparing a new room for my boys and I thought that it could be a perfect addition to the table and chairs I already showed you in the previous post. This time I will try to show you step by step how I made this makeover.

This is a pictures of the shelf before:

 

 

 

 

It is great when you have a helping hand somewhere around the house, and I am so lucky to have one!

First we scraped the old varnish and paint.

 

 

Than we had to cut new backwall from a fibreboard:

 

 

Next step - I painted everything white:

 

 

Than I painted a nice pattern on the backboard using roller and tape. 



 

 

And voila!

 

 

 

 



And here is whole set of furniture together:

 

 

I am so looking forward to see those pieces in my boys room!!
