Final Touches

So the final touch of Jake's room was re-doing this bookcase I've had in our house. It's made of real wood and very well made, I thought with a little paint it could be perfect for his room.

It started with a deep clean ( I refused to sand this bad boy or much of anything for that matter).

Grace and Cassy accompanied me in the garage for much of this project.


The tinted primer/bonder:


The finished product:


View from out of his room. Made those hooks on the right with left over molding and paint.


Almost completed. Will add a few more frames as soon as I get his sports pics developed.




It's amazing how much I loved doing this project. Although time consuming, It is so gratifying to see what a left over gallon of paint can do.
I almost considered doing this for a living to make a little money.
