180 - March to a Different Drummer

This is a pretty nice, solid wood bookcase I got on freecycle.org. Someone had a, uh, vision (nightmare?) of what it should look like. My intention is to sand it down and paint it--ASAP! Seems to me this paint job is definitely by someone who "marches to a different drummer"!

  5. I think he/she was dancing when they sponged this bookcase. Yikes. I know it'll be beautiful when you refinish it.

  6. Nice idea for this theme. Looks like you have a lot of work to do on it. Be sure to post the finished product.

  7. I'd call that a sneeze of color - maybe they didn't have enough of any one shade and were trying to stretch what they had.
