$1 Bookcase!

This is what happened when I bought a $1 u-g-l-y bookcase... 



 It started out like this...

And ended up like this...


Perfect for using in my antique mall booth for the smalls for sale...and didn't cost much! Got the rug too at auction and it fits my booth exactly and makes it looks so much nicer. It's all good!!!

  2. Your header always looks so nice, I wish I could change out for the season, but that would be expensive since I'm on Wordpress! I can't believe you got this for a dollar and it turned out so nice. I especially like the letter/numbers on the bottom. What a deal, what a pretty bookcase now. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success! PS - following you on Facebook!

  3. Love that color. I actually like to find these 60's bookcases. They are so practical in the utility room. Great decision to add the typography.
