Do you want to reform an old shelf and do not know how? Nowadays all that vntage is in fashion. However, that does not mean that having an old, shabby bookcase is a suitable decorative item. Rather, it can be a good material to transform into something much better.
In today's post we show you a very successful way to decorate your living room vintage style. The shelf has a very cheerful design, which combines perfectly with planter with plants. Ideally, the room has a lot of light and that the rest of the furniture is consistent with the style.
And now many will wonder: How do I turn an old bookcase into the one seen in the photo above? If you love crafts, don't stop reading. In the post of micasarevista.com we are provided with a very simple way to do it. The steps are the following:
You need the following:
Different brushes.
Painting (Chalk Paint and Soft Wax wax, by Annie Sloan in El Jardín de Villa Clotilde).
Wax.
Clear varnish.
For smooth surfaces, you need them wide and flat.
To get to turned areas, you will need round brushes.
The wallpaper (the one in the picture is from Eijffinger and is sold in Coordonné).
Badges with a message (these are from A Loja do Gato Preto).
Spray Mount Glue, 3M.
Sandpaper.
First you have to sand the entire surface from the shelf to remove a bit of the gloss from the varnish, clean the furniture thoroughly with a damp cloth and allow it to dry well in the open air.
Second, you have to paint with the shade you have chosen. In this case, yellow. Then let it dry and, once it is dry, apply a coat of clear wax over the entire surface except the area where you want to put the wallpaper.
Third, line the shelves with wallpaper. Stick it with the spray glue and press with a cloth to remove any trapped air bubbles.
Bedroom, apply the colorless varnish with a brush on the wallpaper. This is very useful to protect it from moisture and the sun. And, once, everything is dry you can decorate it to your liking.
