Saved From the Landfill

So what do schools do with their furniture when they decide to gut the entire campus and remodernize? Well, lucky for me they get rid of stuff! 









Most of the furniture removed from the school is being stored in a warehouse, but some bookcases that were damaged came home with me (instead of going to the landfill). 

I popped off the backings, measured them, then headed to Lowes to get some new backing cut. With some wood glue to fix some wobbly shelves, some nails, funky fabric and fun paint, these bookcases will live another day. 

They were originally from 1967 when the school opened, so they're almost 50 years old. I love them! Now, to find them a good home.
