Book Case Project

My mom and I have an extra bedroom that was more like an extra living room that never got used. We decided to turn it into an actual bedroom and are gonna move my bed set up there and get newish stuff for me. Which is nice since I've been needing a larger bookcase and not feeling the all black look anymore. I was able to find a three unit book case on Craigslist for only $60. Sure its not reel wood and has a few flaws but overall it was just what I was looking for. I decided I wanted to paint them and add a few more shelves to it since even thought they're tall they only have three shelves. I have all the supplies and went about $10 more than planned but hey, I spent about $40 less than I thought I would on the cases alone. So really I'm still about $30 under budget which is really good since I still need to buy extra shelves. Anyway its day three of my painting project. First day was sanding it. Man, in the first min I stopped and went out to get masks. I thought I was gonna die. Day two was priming. I ended up calling my dad for some tips but he ended up coming over and priming most of it lol Today was day three and I was able to get two coats of paint on most of it. One unit still needs a second coat and I might do a third on them. Anyways that's basically what I've been up to. I already have my next project underway. Its a self standing swivel picture frame that I'm gonna turn into an earing holder. Sadly that will only take me one day. Not even, all I have to do I sand the back a bit, spray paint it and add a metal mesh.
