Our dearly beloved little neighbors had an old bookshelf that they wanted refinished with a little childlike charm. I hauled it home and began contemplating what possibilities I actually wanted to endeavor with this one. It would be going in little Miles' room which needed a little bit of color help. There were lots of muted greys and blues with a really fun painting above his changing table. The painting had a variety of bright colors so I shot for a turquoise pop. I wasn't about to paint the whole thing turquoise as I wanted to maintain a little masculine class with the wood, so I landed on an internal color external neutral wood. Plus they ended up getting an orange chevron rug that tied in some of the other hues in that painting. All in all I found it to be really dear and timeless. Harper was helping me get a few toys in order and good book seemed to catch her eye- my kinda girl.
