After:

The bookshelf we thrifted appears to be homemade, but made really well with attention to detail. While I liked the color it was previously (khaki), I painted it an "antique white" with oil-based paint to clean it up (lots of scuffs) and give it some durability. It stands tall - 7'?
Yet another place to display all of my junk.
Bonus: Painting these shelves offered a lot of meditation for me; Steve was out of town and I kept myself occupied with a project while he was off taking pictures in the snow. My family of pets gathered round, we listened to good music, had some spirits and I quietly painted these shelves.
