In preparation for a bookworm birthday party for her daughter (which will be shown in all its cuteness later this month), Rachel, a contributor for A Night Owl, updated this adorable vintage bookshelf and is sharing it with you all today!

I simply layered on glossy white spray paint in about 3-4 stages allowing for time to dry in between. On a past project I sprayed the paint on too thick and it started bubbling…so don’t make my mistake. This time I took my time on the application. I had intended to spray it with even more white glossy paint as well as tier three shades of green on the shelves but I think I like it just the way it turned out.
I do recommend using a primer even though I didn’t because I found that the spraypaint will easily scratch off the bookshelf. It’s fine with me though because I think it adds to it’s vintage appeal.
