Cookbook Bookcase Remake

This sweet little bookcase was an originally for albums that my dad made when he was in high school.  Ever since I inherited this great family piece it has been in our kitchen holding my cookbooks. So I began with a high grit sandpaper due to the heavy varnish on this little beauty. 

After a primer and several coats of a cream/bisque color then came the distressing. I am not repurposing these pieces to make them new just to have new life. Here is some close up of the door with some of the 'wear'.



Use a small grit of sandpaper to get your distressed looks

Now my cookbooks have a great fresh home.
