Just Do It

I currently have a bookcase in my garage that is very similar to these before tables. Jacinda found these tables for a steal online. I paid $2 for my bookshelf at a yardsale.

Her tables needed to be stripped. My bookcase needed to be stripped. She buckled down and powered through SIX DAYS of stripping and staining. I spent approximately one horrible hour stripping, then made a sandwich.

She finished her tables and is enjoying their fabulous new look in her living room. My bookshelf has sat in my garage for over three years. I’ve moved with the dumb half-stripped thing two different times!

But, if Jacinda can do it on three tables with curved legs and carved details in less than a week, by George, I can do it to my little bookcase too. For reals. I’m going to do it. Seriously. Hold me to it, you guys.
