Painted Bookshelves
Well, I'm finally finished with the painting I was doing in my home office, which is great because my garage was getting just a wee bit too cold to paint in. The room is almost complete; I am just waiting for the hardware for the dresser to arrive in the mail and I have a few pieces of artwork to hang. It's finally starting to look like a room as opposed to a random collection of mismatched furniture. Here are the before and after photos of the bookshelves I painted.
Before: mismatched, cluttered, and cheap-looking.
After: sleek, modern, and organized.
