Where can I find plans for building a simple bookcase?

Jul 24

Posted by Susan Walker in DIY | 3 Comments

First, I am not a woodworker. Would a small, basic bookcase be a good starting project?

Because I’m visiting my parents for a few months, I can have access to a garage full of basic woodworking tools.

I’m not envisioning anything in particular, just something with inexpensive wood and no wider than three feet.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

How can I paint my IKEA bookcase?

I have an IKEA bookcase and small-sized entertainment center that I bought years ago. I’m moving and want to bring them with me but their colors just don’t go with my new decor. Is there a way to paint them so that they look decent?? Would love to paint them a dark cherry color but not sure if I can – or if I should.

I have a small two bedroom house without a basement. My closet space is also lacking!

Anyone have tips for organizing a house like this? I do throw out a lot of things too!

I’ll buy new bookcase in natural wood color and I want to paint it (I need red bookcase:) ) What kind of paint I should use and how I have to paint? Should I use the sandpaper before I start to paint?
