Thrifty Finds: Vintage $8 Bookcase

There is a really cool antique store where I live that I love visiting every few weeks. Before we went on vacation I had spotted this bookcase that was priced at only $8! I thought about it all the time and a few weeks passed. I decided I had to have it. Luckily it hadn't sold when I went back and now it's in my bedroom....

Of course Chloe had to check it out right away! I didn't need this bookcase but I wanted to save it.
I think it is so cute. It's handmade and did come with sliding doors if I want to use them in the future.

It could use some love. I may paint it someday or do something else fun to it!
My Keep Calm & Carry On print looks way too high now!

The items in the bookcase where sitting on my dresser before. I like my dresser cleared off better.
So I guess I did need the bookcase??? HA!

I love finding inexpensive furniture!
If we buy a house I'm going to go crazy with second hand furniture and vintage pieces.
It will be amazing. :)

What would you do with this piece? Paint it or leave it?
Any other ideas???

    I don't think I would paint it a different colour but just polish the wood. Maybe you could put a pretty wallpaper in the inside? I saw this at love, elycia I think. I really like the pink inside. :) xo

    Thanks guys! I did think about wallpapering the inside. I love backdrops in bookcases. I just don't know yet since I hope we are moving in a few months anyways.
