Little Libraries #3: Repurposed Little Library Project Updates!

Howdy friends!  It's time to update y'all on the progress of the two repurposed little libraries that GadgetSponge & Muddy Water Resurrections is working on.

The second little library started with this pair of lockers.  We had an extra door so we replaced it with the beat up original door.

Here's a snapshot of the Minden branch of the Webster Parish Library system.  As we go along, you'll notice how we incorporated the style of the library into the little library.

The first step was lots of cleaning up, sanding, removing rust and getting it ready for paint to match the beige/tan color of the library.

On this little library we decided to give it a pitched roof so we created the inner support for the top.

After finishing out the outside of the pitched roof, we had some old embossed tin laying around and used that on the sides/ends.

Here's Justin cutting up the reclaimed barn wood that will cover the sides.  Another shout out to Mr. C. D. Finley for the great wood.  

Here I am painting the long boards that will be cut up to make the shelves inside the pair of lockers.

Here you see the shelves getting installed.

And here's Justin mounting the reclaimed barn wood pieces to the sides.  These will later be painted and distressed.

Things are moving along quickly.  There's more already completed that I will post soon.  The big install day will be here before we know it.  There's still one big surprise at the end to compliment each little library at each location, but you'll have to stay tuned to see!  More soon!
