Painted Wooden Bookshelves
Written by Ms Clara   

For this project, Ms Clara gives an example of a painted wooden bookshelf unit. Either a finished or unfinished bookshelf may be used.

Materials:

  • Existing or unfinished bookshelf unit
  • White paint (flat or gloss)
  • Acrylic paint (Ms Clara used Crafter's Edition Magenta and Orange)
  • Paintbrush

Directions:

  • Make sure that the bookshelf unit is clean and free of debris.

  • Using the paintbrush, apply paint to the bookshelf unit. Ms Clara used white on the outside base. She then painted the top and bottom shelves magenta, and the middle shelf orange.

  • Allow the bookshelf unit to dry. Arrange books and desired items on the bookshelves.

Review:

This project was easy, and the paint colors coordinate well with many fabrics. Ms Clara does recommend, however, that the shelves be sanded and primed before painting.
