Sierra Nething says
BOOK ME!
We had some old, ugly, dark oak built in shelves in our dining room when we moved it. Thanks to Young House Love, we decided to be brave and paint it white, add new hardware, and even add some pretty beadboard to the back wall. I think it would only be fair that the people who inspired our makeover get featured by sitting on those shelves! :)

Can you tell I love books!
