Homemade Bookcase To Corral The Clutter

As I mentioned here Justice has a very old television in her room. I wish we could get rid of it.  The budget doesn't allow for a new one and she isn't willing to go without. So, I decided to put it to use.

Pop Pop and I built a small bookcase to sit on top of it to bring height to that side of the room and storage as well. We used plywood and some trim we had laying around the workshop. Filled dents and gaps with wood filler. Then sanded it as smooth as we could.

Ready to prime

Gave it a good coat of primer to make sure the paint goes on evenly.

Then painted it a beautiful color. We used Aqua Bay by Olympic.

Cute storage!

Money spent: $25 for paint (we will be using it on other furniture items too)
