5. Three Shelf Bookcase
Since three shelf bookcases are smaller than your average bookcase, one can tend to overlook them and just think about their function. Here is a great tutorial, found on Apartment Therapy, that shows you how to update a forgotten bookcase. Using reclaimed map paper or other pieces of ephemera would work just as well.
What are some ways that you like to stay busy during the months you’re stuck inside? Do you like to do some updating and sprucing up around your house? What are some pieces of furniture that you’ve made over? I would love to see some of your projects and ideas. Feel free to leave any comments, links, and suggestions.
