I've been itching to revamp this second-hand Next bookcase since we purchased it from a British Heart Foundation shop. It is a great piece of furniture but always felt a little drab and dark.
We wanted to create a beachy, but comtemporary look so kept this upcycle fairly simple with two contrasting colours and rose gold handles for a slightly glam finish. To maintain modern look we chose not to distress with sanding.
We used Annie Sloan Old White on the outside and Provence on the internal areas and shelves. Finishing off with Annie Sloan Clear Wax.
The whole upcycle was completed in a day. We think it is fabulous!
