Upcycled Thrift Store Bookend

Thrift store finds make me happy, especially when you see it and instantly know it can be transformed into something new! That's just what happened when I found this single wood bookend for a dollar!

As soon as I spotted it I thought it would make a nice little wall shelf with it's pretty carved details.

Using a piece of wood that I picked up at a craft store and some paint and clear and dark waxes that I had on hand I transformed the bookend giving it a new purpose and look.

It also gave me a new little spot to decorate, happiness!
