Book 'em...danno.

Yup. I'm on a home improvement roll.

couple of ikea bookshelves.
bleagh. bleagh. bleaaaaaaagh.
what looked like a tan in a spray can*,
turned out to be a pretty sage.
((*hehe, i should've used the word 'beige' or something))
it opens up the hallway so much!
now if only i could paint the molding...and doors...and walls.
me + spray paint = woah.

Off to Honolulu and Maui tomorrow. Gone for a week. Only will a transpacific plane ride keep me from continuing to paint EVERYTHING in our apartment. It's transpacific, right? I can call it that?

did you paint the mirror and picture frames next to the bookcases too?

and i think it is only a half-transpacific flight since hawaii is only 1/2 way across the pacific. but call it whatever you would like :)

Spray paint..huh? I have a couple of those ikea bookshelfs that i considered painting but I didn't think it would work. I guess spray paint is the way to go. Where did you spray paint them? Did you have to take them all the way downstairs and outside?

I love spray paint. I use it WHENEVER I can because it is SO much easier than using a dang brush. :)

I think they look great!
