My 2nd Bookcase Revamp

More pics of the work we've done around the apartment the past couple of weeks...

BEFORE:

When we first moved in, we removed the wheels we'd added to our Ikea bookcases and painted the shelf backing to match the apartment. The inside was citron green to match the living room...

...and the outside was teal to match the dining room.

AFTER:
