Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Everlasting and Vintage to the rescue of a book- shelf stuck painfully in the eighties
Mauve!
Very mauve!
I did not like this color when it was popular way back when.
So there was no way this bookshelf would stay this color.
Vintage - a soft gray/blue/green color.
For the inside.
And for the shelves.
Bermuda Sand latex for the back.
Everlasting - a soft white.
For the body.
Two coats of paint and satin varnish.
A fresh new look.
And off to Booth C-23, Riverfront Antique Mall the Everlasting and Vintage bookshelf goes.

I have a shelf in my bedroom that holds my tablecloths that looks so similar to the style and colors of this bookshelf! I'll have to post a pic for you to see. Remember that booth I mentioned that reminded me of your booth? That's where I got it!
ReplyDeleteReally, really cute! I hate that mauve color too....then and now!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you painted over that mauve. I remember a bathroom in my parents house being that color when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Melissa the blue is so much better. Of course blue is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteDonna, that is sooooooo pretty. I never liked Mauve and I'm a pink girl, but mauve makes me shudder for some reason. Blue and soft white, sigh!!
ReplyDeletehugs,

Donna, it looks great--love the updated colors! The mauve and country blue were THE colors in the eighties, but they wore out their welcome, right??
ReplyDeleteThe shelf turned out gorgeous! I love it! I knew I would though. The shape and lines are great. I would have to come buy it if I lived closer. Hope your week is going great!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look of the shelf! I could really use a little shelf like that, too. Goodbye mauve, and don't come back! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with this shelf--the shape and the molding. Great color choice--
ReplyDeleteEverlasting and blue are much more to my liking!
ReplyDeleteThe new colors are far better.
ReplyDeleteI love how this turned out! The colour combo is so lovely. I'm so not a mauve fan either. Very 80s. The shelf looks quite fabulous now. Thanks so much for sharing at Vintage Charm.
