Easy Bookcase Makeover….. using Wallpaper

I love it when an unexpected idea creates so much sweetness that it’s oozing out of the bookcase. 

Example- Take this rather neutral, a tad bit boring for a 6 year old, great bones of a bookcase. It’s been sitting in Lily’s room patiently now for a couple of years , just waiting for it’s turn to shine.


Remember the wallpaper project here, well I had some left over paper, that I just love, and decided to use it on the backside of the case. I gave the bookcase 2 coats of white paint before I applied the wall paper. 



There is just something about that bookcase with its new paper and paint color that really creates a statement, and shows off the personality of the occupant of this rather girly bedroom. Even the books look prettier sitting on the shelf.


I would say the bookcase can stop waiting for it’s moment to shine cause……


it’s finally arrived.



Do you have a piece of furniture waiting for it’s moment?
For another idea that will add loads of personality to a back of a bookcase try applying a piece of fabric using spray adhesive. 







Grateful
for a sweet little girl who likes to read and loves pink!

  1. You lucky-lucky girl!!
    First, for having that awesome piece to work on, and second, for having a pink lover. 😉

    That wall paper is swoon worthy and delicious!!!!!!!

  2. Wowza! I am going to do this (or the fabric tip) on my family room built-ins. The entire room is dark, with full judges paneling — which we may or may not paint. The built-ins are also stained. But fabric or wallpaper on the interior backs would really brighten things up!

  3. I am so impressed, her bookcase is incredible. Good for you Mom, she'll love it so much. The white polka dots in wall paper go so well with white on bookcase and the Apple Green mirror picks up the green in wall paper. Very luck little girl to have such a talented Mom and gorgeous room. Must have been fun putting wall paper in the book case. Bravo. Happy days
