Bookend Makeover

Morning All, 

Remember those awesome awesome bookends I thrifted?



Well they got a makeover with some chalk paint.


How freaking awesome are they!! I love that I can stash my stationary in there as well. Note the cute houndstooth notepads, my gorgeous friend Amy at While Wearing Heels, sent them to me in a box of goodies she collected. Does she know me or what??

DIY Delight or Disaster? I might actually do the unthinkable and throwl in a squeal...nope can't do it, but I am pretty darn happy with these babies, LOVE 'EM, delight!

Thanks for reading,

Mel xo

    Love them, too! I have a pair of bookends with globes that I keep meaning to paint up the bases and this is the push I need to get it done.

    I really like them painted. I wouldn't have wanted them w/the wood finish (and I usually love wood finish), but I would definitely want them in white! Well done. :)

    I love their makeover, they look fab! It's such a small change but it's made such a big difference.

    Oh I was coveting those when you first showed them and now I'm coveting them even worse!! Those are great Mel and I knew you'd do something great with them. And yes...I'd say Amy knows you pretty well! I'll squeal for you!

    Paint truly is amazing, isn't it? The bookends are 100x better painted white. I love the little storage areas on them.
