Everlasting And Vintage Bookshelf

bookshelf makeover, Americana Decor Chalky Finish paintAmericana 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.

  1. 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!

  3. So glad you painted over that mauve. I remember a bathroom in my parents house being that color when I was a kid.

  4. I agree with Melissa the blue is so much better. Of course blue is my favorite color.

  5. Donna, 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!!

  6. 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??

  7. The 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!

  12. I 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.
