White Book Shelves...Revealed!
...
Wahoo...I am so excited! Our bookshelves which we had painted white are finally finished and accessorized! Here's a picture of what they used to look like:
Yup...see them behind me, kid 2 and my dog's Ginger & Bear? They were old, oaky and dated! So just a couple of weeks ago we had them painted a fresh white. Okay, I know your wondering why I didn't paint them myself? Well to be honest, we don't paint EVERY single project in our house. Sometimes it's nice to just call the painter's! And besides, they can do in one day what takes me and the hubby 2 weeks!
Here they are finished:
Ahhhh, isn't it just a breath of fresh air? I am loving this light and bright new look! And accessorizing this baby has been fun and thrifty too! In fact, for Frugalicious Friday tomorrow, I'll give you the low down on how I accessorized these bookshelves, on a budget, for less...yup, without breakin' the bank!
So check back in tomorrow, and I'll give you the scoop on how I $aved! And while your here don't forget to link up your Diy projects, crafts and fabulous finds...because we want to see how you $ave! See you then.

They look fabulous! I love how they look.
And um, I'll take one each of the dogs, too.
That looks so great. We did the same thing in our old house. There were two bookshelves on each side of the fireplace and the cabinets in the kitchen were oak also. I loved loved loved them white!!
We also hired someone to paint them. I think he actually sprayed them and they turned out 'professional' looking. Go figure!
Love your new profile pic also!

Amazing! What a difference!!
wow, it looks 'more' built in than before.
ah..when someone else paints, it's so much easier to enjoy the 'after' without noticing all the spots you 'messed' up on.
Looks great!
Truly a breath of fresh air! I love the look of white furniture. It's really nice that you were able to call someone to come and paint them for you. Your puppies are super cute too!
It's like a brand new piece. Love the freshness of the white and it makes more of a statement in the room. Love it.
The white is so clean and fresh! It matches the room without blending in. Nice work.
WOW!!!! It opens up that whole room. So fresh looking. I love it!
It looks amazing! So clean and fresh. Love the white!
