Bookcase redo

Here recently I became fed up with our dated bookcase. On a tight budget, I knew it would have to be a cheap redo! Hmm? So what to do?

Yep, pretty bad?!? Our house was built in the early 70's and there is a lot of this "shiny" trim/wood around.

So, I got out the hammer and ripped it all off, sanded a little, painted the shelves white. 

Now for my favorite part... I bought new trim! Home Depot has a beautiful door trim kit for 12.98. With a few nails it was beautiful again. 

To finish off the project, I bought a book of grey/black scrapbook paper and mod podged it to the back if the shelves! With a total of $20 ( we already had paint and mod podge) our bookcase was made beautiful again!
