How can you make my white bookcase into a gloss shine is not one of the truly complicated tasks that cannot be completed at home, all on your own. Yet, it still requires a little bit of preparation work. On the whole, the entire process behind turning a painted white bookcase\u00a0<\/a> into a gloss white shine unit can be broken down into four major stages:<\/p>\n

\"PreppingPrepping the bookcase\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Prepping the bookcase<\/h3>\n

The first tip while making a white bookcase \u00a0<\/a>into a gloss white shine \u2014 or any other furniture piece in that matter \u2014 is to find a place where you are going to work on the piece. During the summer time, a yard or a garden will do just fine \u2014 as long as you avoid direct sunlight. During the rainy or cold season, you should of course look for some cover \u2014 a shade or a basement, for example. Here, it is important to look for properly ventilated premises, though.<\/p>\n

Removing old paint and finishes<\/h3>\n

Even if your bookcase\u00a0<\/a> is covered in white paint and it is white gloss finish you are looking for, simply covering the piece in transparent gloss will not have the job done. You will have to remove the old paint first. There are plenty of ready made paint strippers in stores, which offer a quick and easy way to remove the paint.<\/p>\n

Sanding<\/h3>\n

Even as you strip your old paint away some minor \u2018leftovers\u2019 will be tough to get rid of. Still, there is no need to worry \u2014 after stripping the paint, you can sand the piece to remove absolutely all traces of previous finish. Yet another remark for those people who are going to paint the piece into the same colour is not to get too perfectionist while sanding \u2014 save your time and effort.<\/p>\n

Applying new high gloss finish<\/h3>\n

After you are done stripping and sanding, you will have two possible options to give your bookcase a white shiny look. You can either use simple white paint and apply transparent glossy finish after it is dry, or save your time and effort by going with ready-made high gloss finish in white.<\/p>\n

Decoration ideas on white shiny furniture<\/h3>\n

And, of course, do not forget that white gloss furniture calls for matching high gloss units to make your room picture complete. Also, white gloss furniture looks simply astonishing with light leather and clear glass. Tinted glass with a darker shade is an amazing idea to create contrasts in the room.\u00a0 LED lights\u00a0<\/a> also work very fine in the majority of modern interiors.<\/p>\n

Finally, note that it is not always necessary to refinish your bookcase all by yourself \u2014 sometimes, getting a brand new model is a more reasonable idea. At least, make sure that the bookcase is intact before you start \u2014 check out doors, shelves, and overall integrity of the unit. If the piece is not damaged and it really is only the finish that needs replacement, the idea might be truly worth your time and effort. If not, do not hesitate and hit the stores\u00a0<\/a> at once.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
