I decided it was time to organize all of my craft supplies. I wanted a small bookcase so that everything would be easy to reach and organized. Whenever I organize something it has to not only be functional but pretty. That night I made my husband go to Ikea with me to find some shelfs that would work. We found this bookcase that had the perfect measurements but it was too plain. So I ran to the store and found some cute drawer lining paper.
If you find paper that is self-adhesive this is all you need. The back of the bookcase, scissors and paper.
Here is the finished product. I love to do this with all different kids of shelves, you can use just about anything on the background and it gives your furniture a lot of color and personality. Here are some picture of it up close with my ribbon organizer.
Here is the hutch I redid with fabric covering the back.

LOVE that hutch. Very pretty, and the pattern is lovely. :) I'm looking for something like that for my Dining room. Visiting from Kimba's party. :)
I love the hutch and the bookcase... they both turned out very cute. I've got an entertainment area that I've been wanting to do that with.
Beautiful! I really love that hutch, it's just gorgeous with the fabric.
I love this idea ~ even if it's just paint! I love the fabric you used in your hutch.
The hutch is so very pretty and elegant looking. Great choice!
Beautiful. I love the hutch as well. The black and white are great. Laura @ the mansion
I love BOTH pieces! What a great idea. I scrapbook and I'm always looking for new ways to organize my things, so thanks for the inspiration!
Oh I LOVE it, the fabric backing especially.
I love this idea! I have been wanting to do something like this, but painting seemed like too much effort. I can't believe I hadn't thought to use wrapping paper! Brilliant!
beautiful! - what store did you find the green shelving paper?

thanks!
Joelle, I found the paper at Target.
Okay, this is A-DOR-ABLE! I have the SAME exact plain-jane bookcase in our entry -- and I would love to copy your idea with it and spruce it up! Fabulous job!!
