Found furniture

I enjoy giving new life to discarded pieces of furniture.  This sturdy little wooden bookcase was abandoned on a curb in Oakland.  With just a little patching and sanding it was ready for a new look.  I have always been intrigued with old-fashioned milk paint and this was a perfect opportunity to try out milk paint as a medium of creative expression.  Love it!
