LOVE the bookshelves.

My husband and I have attempted to start your project on our own Billys. When we went to buy primer, the store owner suggested simply sanding down the Billys, as he felt primer would never stick.

Is there a reason you opted for priming rather than sanding?

Thanks for a wonderful blog!!

there is a product i came across the other day ( cant remember the name of course ) for painting over old formica countertops. it works very well from the reviews i read and they said it does equally as well over masonite, mdf and other slick / smooth surfaces. im sure goggling painted formica would find it.

I love cubby like book shelves like the 3rd image down.
Fantastic images – hope you are having a great weekend. Perhaps a project completed or maybe a little extra sleep…whatever you do, enjoy!

I love using that tool for cutting in. But what a great idea to quickly paint the back of a bookcase. Fabulous!
Thanks!
