Take 2 Bookshelves and Turn Them Into a Built in Wall Unit

Kristin
by Kristin
Using 2 bookshelves, lots of trim, scrap wood, paint and elbow grease we were able to make a mudroom wall unit for under $75.00
Free bookshelf which I sanded primed and painted
$30 bookshelf sanded, primed and painted
Adhered shelf to the wall. Added detail underneath
Lots of trim added everywhere.
Built up the top
More molding and added the bottom bookshelf.
I finished it off by giving it nice coat of semi gloss white shadow and sewing a bench seat.
