I scored this beautiful pine bookcase….for $50! I’ll take that deal anyday. I have no idea where it’s going right now, but for that price, it came home with me. And I got free delivery since they had a truck and offered to bring it to my door.
It will more than likely be painted black and since the back of it is just a thin particleboard, I think I’ll have a piece of beadboard cut to fit. That will look great! Then a new coat of paint, since I don’t have pine in my house. The lady said it’s made by Hooker, which is one of my favorite brands of furniture. My hubby thinks I paid too much for it, but he hasn’t priced bookcases lately. It stands 6′ tall.
Another special bunny found it’s way home with me too….$5.
This pretty green floral runner by Williams Sonoma was 50 cents. I really didn’t need it, but for that price, I’ll use it outside when we are entertaining.
Have a great week!
For the price of a tank of gas….
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!

What a great bookcase…it will look great painted black…I’ve been in the mood to paint things black, though I’ve only done some small things so far.
Love the bunny and the table runner, too.
Thanks for sharing your finds, Rhoda!

Good heavens, what a deal!!! You’ll have to take your hubby to the furniture store to check out the bookcases so he can fully appreciate your bargain!

Are husbands all the same? LOL
I love the book case and it would have come home with me! What a great find and the Chicken Divan was heavenly.
Thank You for once more sharing!

Rhoda,
That is a good looking book case for 50 bucks! It will look great painted black and the beadboard idea sounds great.
Your little bunny is cute too…and I wouldn’t have passed up that runner for 50 cents either!

Great finds, Rho! Love the bookcase – it was really a great price and will be really pretty painted black.
The bunny is too cute!
The Berry's Patch says
Wow, that book case is beautiful. That’s a great price for a 6 foot tall bookcase. Can’t wait to see it after you paint it. Is it going in the new guest room???
Natalie says
Great find, even better price! I’ve been shopping for bookshelves (desperate for more storage in this little house) and I haven’t found anything that tall for well over double that, and much more. (I miss the days when my gas guzzler only cost $50 to fill up, ugh!)
Beverly says
Great deal on the bookcase, and it will be awesome painted black. Now to find a place for it.

Hi Rhoda,
Nice bookcase and I’m into black painting lately:) It will look great when you are done. I loved looking at all those wonderful treasures in the other post you had. Awesome things she has and great paintings. A gold mine of memories and treasures 🙂

That’s another great find you got. I like the idea of the bead board in the back. It will look so good when you get it done.
Wendy says
Oh goodness I love that bookcase…great find!
Southern Lady says
Rhoda, what a gorgeous bookcase … and a fantastic buy for $50.00! I can’t wait to see your “after” pictures. It’s going to be even prettier black.
I love that runner, too. It’s so pretty and colorful — perfect for a porch or patio.
Sincerely,
Janie

Amazing bargain!! I agree…beadboard would be so pretty with this, and painted black, this thing will look great! It WAS a good price too, I agree. Be sure to show it to us when you are done! 🙂

Well, that is just about the prettiest little (6 ft. tall) piece of furniture I have ever seen. I LOVE your plans for it.
Can’t wait to see the ‘reveal’.
