Brightening my Bookcase

Since I painted the Living Room, it still seemed dark to me...especially my bookcase.



Dark walls, dark couch, dark accessories...I wanted to see a POP of white.  There are touches here and there, but not quite.


 Out came the craft paint and transformed this...
(from my grandmother's estate - had to use them!!)


And this...


Into this...


And this...


I finally got that Pop!!


I turned the books around and added the sheet music vase.  It brightened up that dark room so much and was super easy to do!

  4. Also isn't your "coffee table" that crazy flamingo bench you re-did awhile ago? We are SO in a fight.
