Bookcase turned into a plant stand

Vintage bookcase/bookstand upcycled to become an indoor plant stand.

Steps

Step 1

The bookcase was taken apart and the shelving was stripped with paint stripped. Once dried it was fully sanded.

Step 2

The shelves were painted with multiple layers of waterbased varnish. The spindles were cleaned and paint with fusion mineral paint.

Step 3

The piece was put back together and indoor plants were added.

Re: Bookcase turned into a plant stand

Hello @Upcycler01

 

Many thanks for sharing this upcycling project. You've definitely got an eye for recognising the hidden potential in items and repurposing them. It would make for a great addition to our list of stylish plant stands shared by community members. 

 

Look forward to seeing more of your handiwork.
