For the last ten years or so I’ve been moving house with two of these heavy shelf units. Chucked out by my Grandma they’ve proved themselves to be very handy pieces of furniture… Albeit covered in flakey varnish from the 70s and lots of mug stains and water damage to the back of one (the screws holding the back panel on were sehr rusty).

So after MUCH sanding and cleaning and removal of back panel and three coats of “Moonlight White” satin quick dry paint…

I left the top edge bare as I didn’t want to completely erase the unit’s identity!

I also made a vinyl matt to fit on the top layer to stop my mug circle habit:
Furniture fixed!
