Giving Billy a Facelift
Projects, projects, projects! They seem to never stop. One of my biggest issues in our living room is this guy:
He is way too dark! In my old apartment he worked, but now that we have a lighter, airier feel to the space (not yet, that is), I want something lighter! So this weekend, I plan to tackle the bookcase with some primer, some paint, and git-r-done! I was inspired, and plan to follow Centsational Girl’s post on painting laminate furniture.
So Billy, get ready to meet your match! (Wish me luck, DC has been suffering some serious humidity so this’ll be an indoor project..)

White with the back painted turquoise… which is exactly what I want to do, but haven’t even found the piece, yet!
Me too! About to take a long retired Billy from the basement into a closet upstairs for kid-storage, but definitely need to spruce it up first! Good luck!
Ohhh, I have a total love/hate relationship with my black Ikea bits & pieces. Will be very interested to hear of your brightening experiment. Look forward to the results & thanks for the list to that Centsational post – had missed that one. Cheers!
