I think before the cheap white bookcase, I had a cheap pink bookcase. The cheap white bookcase has been with me for over a decade, it has some wear and tear, literally.
Before I moved into the apartment, I had a moment where I looked at my cheap white bookcase and realised how white it was. The cheapness I can't fix, I have no money to buy a new bookcase, so what can I do?
I took to pinterest and came out with painting it.
The cheap white bookcase is just that - cheap. The paint didn't take to it too well as the surface probably wasn't meant to be painted and as I did this in an afternoon, in my room (I tried to move it and gave up) I really didn't bother about much, apart from remembering to tape the edges.
The paint and brush I picked up from Warehouse Stationery. Under NZ$10 I think and I still have a lot left in the tube.
The effect is what I was after - it isn't perfect, it isn't Pinterest, but once I had my books in, it made me happy.
