So we didn't have a bookcase in Super G's room yet, because the hubs didn't have time to make what he wanted to make yet. That happens when you have a baby. But with our son's first birthday coming up, we felt this was something we should get on. Unfortunately, not thinking this would turn out as cute as it did, I didn't take a before picture of the shelf. But it was ugly. Apparently it was some sort of bookshelf that used to come with encyclopedia sets. It was wood colored and sort of falling apart.
We did a little love to it with some wood glue. And once it was doctored up, we painted it a nice brown color that we felt was representative of the bricks in Mario. For the black lines, we just used some masking tape and then "painted" the lines in with one of those giant, smell so strong you'll get high, Sharpie markers. It worked like a charm.
We think it looks fantastic! You can see it above with our one of a kind Bob-omb lamp We think they make great companions.
