I posted last week that we tried to Recycle as much as possible.

This week my challenge was to 'repurpose' a bookcase that was much too big to use effectively in the Infant Foyer.

The bookcase is used daily, so we didn't want to get rid of it, just make it more practical and usable.

The first job was to replace the backbone of the bookcase and then shape it and finally paint it.

As you can see, I've got it to the Undercoat stage. It'll be back in place in the next few days once the paint dries ready for many more years of service for our infant pupils.

I'm thinking of using the school colours of blue and red to make it tie-in even better...I'll post a picture when it's finished !
