Mod Podged Shelves
This is a project I have wanted to do for a long time. I've been itching to Mod Podge something, anything for quite some time now, and I finally found the perfect piece of furniture for it! The funny thing is I've had these shelves since I was a teenager! Why didn't I think to do this before?
Believe it or not, these shelves have traveled with me from living at my parents house, to college, to married life. I've always found a need for them, and they've always been there for me.
Ummm, really been there for me. As in used and abused.
Seriously, you can barely even tell anymore that they are white. They're so grimey and chipped.
Its time they had a renewed life!
Enter the spray paint (Krylon's Ocean Blue) and some fabulous remnant fabric I found at Hobby Lobby. The color scheme goes perfectly with my craft space makeover (you can read more about the massive craft space overhaul here). And I can't wait to share with you what I'm going to be using these shelves for! But that is a post for another day...
In the meantime, I can barely believe that these are the same shelves
that I've had for so many years.
Aren't they fabulous? :)
Oh my gosh! I've been wanting to Mod Podge a couple of bookcases for a while, but just haven't gotten around to it. :) These turned out so cool! I LOVE!

That is a fun transformation! I have never done to this to furniture and really need to try it...I have plenty of furniture that could use a facelift!
ReplyDeleteUm, seriously this is awesome! I'd love if you linked up at Sew Woodsy today!
ReplyDeleteTurned out great! I've never used mod podge before but I want to do that to a little shelf about the same size. How much mod podge did it take to cover all of that?

Whoah! Very bright and cheery! A great addition to any room. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love the look! I am wondering though how well does the fabric hold up if these are being used on a day to day basis. I have been wanting to do something similar in my daughters room, but I know it would get hammered. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteVery Cool!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome!! What kind of mod podge do you use for this type of project?
ReplyDeleteLove the pattern you chose! Mod podge continues to amaze me! Coming over from the Shabby Nest and your newest follower!

These are great Michele! I'm so proud of you. Love the fabric choice too!!
ReplyDelete@ Steven and Chelsea - I just used the regular matte Mod Podge. It worked great!
ReplyDelete@ Moquelish - I think if you put a coat of Mod Podge on top of the fabric it may hold up. But kids are rough! :)
I would love for you to link it up to my party that is running now. Any linky goes.
