chevron

when we moved into our current house we had so many books and tsotskis that we needed extra storage. enter the expedit bookshelf from ikea. i usually find expedit to be quite cute, but in a organizing fit i bought this birch version on craiglist instead of trekking down to ikea. major mistake. the birch has been haunting me ever since. so when my mom found this stencil that i had ordered online from the uk, i knew my birch expedit was destined for greater things. this project took a lot more patience than i usually have when it comes to painting, but it turned out really great and i'm so much happier walking into the house to chevron.
