Second Verse Same As The First

bookshelf makeover, distressed painting, Krylon Chalky Finish Paint, Maison de StencilI felt the French Love Song washstand needed a companion piece.






So second verse same as the first!

Except this time it is a bookshelf.

Read about the French Love Song Washstand HERE! 





I bought the bookshelf on the same day as the washstand.

Hence the same blooming hydrangea behind it.

The paint was a bit scratched and lumpy. 





So I sanded the heck out of it.

Put it in the living room and used it for my ever-increasing book collection for several months.









After  completing the washstand I used the leftover Krylon Spray Chalky Finish in ivory.

Great coverage.







Used the same French Love Song stencil from Maison de Stencils as the washstand.

In the same French blue craft paint.






It is an easy stencil to use.














Then did the same to distress the song lyrics - sand the heck out of it.












Rather like this size bookshelf so I am already on the lookout for another victim, er, project piece. 










I'm Henry VIII
I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
 

She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am
Second verse same as the first
I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got married to the widow next door
She's been married seven times before
And every one was an Henry (Henry)
She wouldn't have a Willy or a Sam (no Sam)
I'm her eighth old man, I'm Henry
Henry the eighth I am
I'm Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am, I am
I got… 


So maybe I need to complete eight of these!?!


See y'all!

  4. My favorite song by the Herman's Hermits! Well, one of them anyway. I still have their old albums along with the Beatles! Beatles albums will probably have to be buried with me cuz can't bear to part with them.
    Ah yes, love that bookshelf...it's a nice useful size. Am I to understand you're keeping it??

  5. My best friend and I went to Macon GA to see Herman's Hermits too many years ago to say. It was my first ever concert. It was a most exciting night that I will never forget. We were both big fans and sang along to every song. Love the book case too.
