Chalky Finish Hanging Bookshelf Updo DIY

Not an updo like you would fix your hair for your prom or a wedding, but an updo like a new look, a new life, and new direction for an old hanging bookshelf. I guess you could say I “upcycled” it.

I knew I could give it a new look and a new life hanging in our guest bedroom.
