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!
OMG…I WANT that bookcase!! It will be gorgeous painted black. LOVE those bunnies too!! CUTE!!
I love that bookcase and it will look fabulous black, wow! You scored!!!

The bookcase is beautiful! Love that fluted trim on it.
50.00 ????? I am not easily made jealous but today that evil green eye monster is showing it’s ugly face! Girlfriend, you so scored!!!
Backing it with beadboard is a fantastic idea. Will you paint the beadboard a different color than the rest of the bookcase? Or will it be black too? I’m considering painting the back of my black china hutch a different color. Possible the dusty apple green color I’ve been using as an accent color.

Great deals, especially on the bookcase.
Happy Thrifting,

Wow… what a steal!
Love your bookcase and be sure to show us the finished product after you are done with it.
Girl, you are GOOOD. That bookshelf is wonderful and the black will be awesome. I have a similar one and it has a cream beadboard backing. I love it!
hey Rhoda, what a find for $50, that’s my kind of bargain!
love the runner, nice and bright for outdoors
guess what, I made Chicken Divan the night before last, I was gonna email you but thought you probably are bombarded with emails – my family loved it!! I make a lot of casseroles but we’d never had anything like this…how funny that we were eating a southern dinner all this way away?

Rhoda, Peter just doesn’t have the eye for a find like you….your scored a great bargain on that bookcase! I love it and it will be stunning in black.
I love your yardsale finds…Mary
WOW! What a deal!! And it looks like it’s in great shape!
That was a great deal on that bookcase! I love it!!! I would have bought it too without knowing where to put it…some deals are just too good to pass up!
I think the beadboard will be perfect on the back of your new bookshelf.
Light wood is my weakness!!!You have found a steal here!!
Maybe try just painting the beadboard black & let it pop; instead of painting the whole thing?
thats just me..love the light woods.
Best find I have seen yet!
Your skills are getting better girl!!
That bookcase is gorgeous!!!! What a GREAT price too!!!!!!
