Facelift

I keep my cookbooks on a bookshelf that’s relatively new to us, but has been in my family for a long time. This weekend I spruced it up with a fresh coat of paint and a new top, base, and trim that match our kitchen cabinets. The base and trim are leftover pieces from our kitchen project, but I made the top from some cherry planks and stained it to match. (I think our kitchen contractor nearly kissed me when I said, “I ordered matching stain from the cabinet company.”)
