I’ve been meaning to do something about a bookshelf that my husband made out of scrap material. The time and proper inspiration just hasn’t been there to help me get started…until this blog entry. Really enjoyed the sample pictures you posted up along with the fruits of your renovation toils. Real lovely work, I must say. And I may venture to do something similar except the bookshelf in question does not have a back wall. Any ideas on how to remedy this?

I hardly ever comment (even though I’m IN LOVE with your blog and you majorly inspire me) but I just had to say how much I love this project. I put some striped ikea wrapping paper on the back of my inexpensive ikea bookcases a few months ago to try and dress them up and it made them look so much better and not like the cheesy particle board that they are. I’ve wanted to make my books look more uniform though and didn’t know how until now. Love love love it! I’m doing this today! Thanks for the great idea!!

Oooooo….such pretty eye candy! I love the order of all the bookcases in the inspiriation but especially like what you did. It’s real life version. I have visions of organized households with intriging displays but alas, they are peppered with army men and Star Wars battles. It’s life though and at least it makes me laugh.

Isn’t that a neat idea……..i did it too with books & combined the pink & red in my craftroom. It is up against black to keep it from getting too cutesy. Yours looks astounding! Makes the ordinary books looks so neatly together!

I repurposed a Billy Bookcase (from Ikea) in to a media center when I used to live in a studio (i painted the inside fuchsia, and the outside a very light grey). Loved it!
