$4.65 Upcycled Bookshelf

I had this old, espresso, fake-wood bookshelf from Target just sitting in the basement collecting dust & cobwebs.  I KNEW I had saved it for SOME reason!  I decided to get my spray gun out and go to town on it!  2 coats of primer, 2 coats of a warm gray paint, and 3 coats of a glossy poly, and here we go!  Then, I went to Hobby Lobby in search of the perfect scrapbook paper to line the back of the cabinet.  At $.29 cent ea (4 sheets), this was awesome!  I'm only sorry that I got SO excited to tackle it, that I forgot to take the "before" photo!  

Total cost for this bookshelf upcycle: $4.65!  
(primer & paint were from my basement)
