You may remember Sam's book shelf in his old room, from the home tour last year. When we moved, and rearranged the upstairs last week, it was in need of a serious makeover. We got rid of most of the movies and junk.

Hubby sanded and cleaned it. I painted it with black satin.

I found some baskets at Michael's today and insto facto, a whole new look.

Everything is tidy and organized. We'll see how long Sam can maintain.

Nice makeover...and I do see some pictures above the bookshelves! The baskets are perfect...
Tami you've got to be kidding me! That is huge... a huge makeover... Here is what I'd like to suggest and see IF you'll take me up on it. I bet you could sell tickets... a day in the life of Tami... and I want to shadow every move you makde from start to finish. Go shopping with you, pick your brain with every thought... etc. how bout it?? Please??
I'll buy a ticket! Great job Tami, love the shelf! If it was me, I would have taken it for myself and given my kid an ugly one!
Sam is all growed up! Love the sleek black look.
Great re-do on the shelf! I love black! I'm always afraid to try to refinish stuff. Did you spray, roll or brush? My kids don't do well at keeping the room up - when we moved in 8 months ago I was sure they'd keep these new rooms nice - NOT!:-@
Janice- Good question. I always brush. And as tight and cheap as I am, I do have one area I never skimp.
The brush! Buy the best that you can. When I painted all the trim in our house I did not tape, steady hand and a good brush! It works.
the shelves look great, I always love using baskets to hide crap and these really look nice against the black...
