My father gave us 3 big black melamine bookcases. We lack a little storage in the house, so that’s good. Nevertheless, their look definitely betrays their age. We’ll try to fix it.<\/p>\n

Here are the 3 melamine libraries before recovery and modifications.<\/h2>\n

\"biblio-6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"biblio-5\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

We remove the strips of fields.<\/h3>\n
\"library-3\"<\/a>
Field bands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We remove the textured laminate.<\/h3>\n

\"biblio-4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the result on the first two libraries.<\/h3>\n

\"biblio-2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the last.<\/h3>\n

\"biblio\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If your project is on a larger scale and you are considering painting the entire piece of furniture, I suggest you this article from Canal Vie<\/a> on the subject. Good reading!<\/p>\n
