I didn't take any pictures of what it looked like before but this picture after I sanded it gives an idea.
Then I started painting.The paint didn't seem to stick well. Several coats later it stuck and I painted the rest.
Because I didn't want to spend much money, I picked up the cheapest brushes and the bristles came right off into the paint.
When I peeled back the tape, I also peeled off the green paint. 
It really peeled off. It reminded me of this nail polish my BFF and I used to wear that would peel off in one beautiful piece soon after it dried.
I went back to the store and bought contact paper.
But when I put the shelves back in, one of them scratched the paint off. I was nearly in tears when my husband (God bless him) told me he liked the look and it was shabby chic. Yay!

ooooh! Me likey! I have been thinking of using some sort of paper to back the little shelves that are apart of Grant's head board. It is just all dark wood, and I think some sort of background color would be very fun for a little guy! Any thoughts?
Oh how frustrating. That is how pretty much every one of my DIY projects turns out. The shelves look great though, nice work!
