Materials: BILLY bookcases, stencils
The backs of the large billy bookcases were primed with Zinsser shellac-based spray primer. I applied two coats of Modern Masters metallic paint in Warm Silver and allowed it to dry.
Using Benjamin Moore‘s Cedar Key in semi-gloss (I used the same color in flat finish for the walls in the room) I stenciled using a stencil from Cutting Edge Stencils. I left the backs to dry for several days then assembled the bookcases.
