Bookshelf Before & After and some history...

I finally spent some time working on the yucky $4.88 bookshelf I got a month or so back.  Here is the before again (complete with spintered wood and 2 old wasps nests)...

And the after....

Nothing spectacular.  But, a good place for storage.  Inside the bookcase are some cool finds as well as another project...

A couple of thrift store books (one from the 40's), The pretty sparkly vase (also a thrifty find), and the other project is the Chevron storage bin.

This is a $6 fabric bin from Target.  I added painters tape in the chevron pattern and painted with fabric paint.  Much cheaper than the chevron bins you see online. 

I will finish this post with a few more cool finds.  The plan is for these to find a new home via our antique booth at Chelsea Antiques.  Surely, someone will think they are as cool as I do. :-)

This clock is from the 40's.  It's in great shape and it still works! Isn't it neat?

Both of these books are from the late 50's. A book on Etiquette?  How cute is that?  And, Art & Design?  It's really to see how classic some of our decor really is. 

I am well on my way to an episode of Hoarders if I keep finding these "cool" things ;-)

See ya!
