Red bookshelf

I found this very well built bookshelf in one of our second hand furniture shops. It is a decent size bookshelf built with sturdy planks. 

I started off by painting it light blue. That did not look good against the red shelves. So, I dry brush paint effect the bookshelf with the green olive paint. That's perfect! It has a nice texture on the bookshelf too. The darker patches are the brown wax on the dry green paint. 

I am so pleased with it. 

Before....

...semi painted on the edge of the shelves with a funny purple paint.  

And....

The finished bookshelf. It will go with the chest of drawers for the study with my read chair (I am already using it)
