bookcase update

Finally finished painting my bookcase. Friggin finally. This is my first little decorating project using all thrifted and discounted accessories.  The paint I decided to use ended up being the most expensive item. I actually liked how it looked primed but I was on a sea foam green mission. The lamp and bookcase are from Salvation and the lampshade is a paper parasol shade from Pier 1(years ago).  I had two of these lampshades but who knows where the other one is.  If I could find it, I'd shop for another lamp specially for it. Thrifted, of course.

I'm not holding my breath for this one though. sanding by hand is no joke. eventhough I like hand sanding for some of the effects I can get its a filthy dirty job.
And here's the green Oops paint for $FIVE$ that's less seafoam and more garbage pail kid green that I found after the fact. and I bought the yellow cause it was an earthtone.  I'm not crying, I'm just saying.
