I Found These Outdated Bookcase Bases… Now What? | Furniture Makeover Dilemma

In this video, I take on a unique upcycling challenge—two vintage Kroehler bookcase bases found at the curb! Originally part of a larger shelving unit, these bases are full of potential as accent tables or bedside storage. Watch as I clean, repair, sand, and paint these pieces in a stunning cornflower blue to give them a fresh, functional update. I’ll also share tips on prepping furniture, priming, and choosing the right hardware for a polished finish. Join me to see how these forgotten pieces become stylish, versatile additions for any decor style!
