You gotta see this Bookcase:)

On my way home from running errands yesterday, I decided to stop by the thrift store to have a 'look'. Now why is it when your just having a look, you find more crap then you know what to do with?? And yet when you go in there with the purpose of buying something, you can never find it?? Anyways...... I couldn't believe what I saw!! There were 7 different dollhouse furniture sets. And they were only $4 a piece. Do you know how hard it was to just choose one??!! LOL... Here is the one I choose.... Now, there is no plastic on this..... It's just that freakin shinny!! Damn Varnish!!

I decided to redo the piece at the top........ Ready to see what I did:)
First thing to go was all the doors.... I saved them for another project, and even lucked out with 6 new cabinet drawer pulls!!

Then that Varnish had to go. This step took the longest! It was pretty thick!

Next, it got 2 coats of brown paint.......

I know, I just couldn't help myself.... But I had to crackle it:) I did 2 thick coats of crackle medium, and let them dry in between coats. Then I used a sand color paint to do the top coat!

And I couldn't be more pleased with myself. It's stunning!! :)

My last step was to sand again.... Hitting all the edges to give it more character!

I absolutely LOVE this piece. Don't have a home for it yet, but I'm thinking one day it's gonna need it's own shabby chic room! :)

Hope everyone has an awesome weekend.

Until Next Time
