Because in my imaginary life I am an interior designer

We've been in need of a small bookshelf for our bedroom for awhile now. Mike goes through books the way I go through Kleenex and though we try check out books from the library we still need some book storage.

Enter the black metal bookshelf.

I found it this weekend for $40 at an antique place. It actually held a bunch of dishes. I really wanted to find something for less than $25, but I was getting impatient. Plus I liked the little metal design on this one and I can see us using it in several places in our house.

A few coats of spray paint later and voila. We have lift off.
