Today I want to show a before and after. And this is the second SnT that I will make my sister cry (the first was a gigantic spider web). This one is not as frightening.
Before:

After:

I am not a fan of dark wood, and I adore painted wood. So paint it I did, and I love the way it turned out. I used the directions I found at (oh boy, I forgot where I found them and a half an hour search has tuned up nothing) Anyhow, I also colorcoded my books which is something else I saw on a blog somewhere. Blogs are great for ideas.

Looks great! I don't like dark wood, either.
They look great! I too remember reading about color coding books on someone's blog - funny! I paint just about everything! Paint is awesome!

Yes, I agree, the white is so much more cheerful. Looks good ;-)
Hi Becka :) Great job, and I really like the color coded books idea! Blessings, Q
I like dark wood - in fact, love it - tobacco, espresso, the hardwoods of Hemingway. However, your bookcase is lovely.
