She then painted it and now it is held in place by the shelves themselves. I wonder if you could paper a thin wood in the same fashion.? Then if you tire of the look, it would be super easy to change it.

I absolutely loved that finish you and your sister did on the bricks in your parents' house. Have you considered doing that to yours? Your favorite green in a pattern sounds perfect for the back boards. I used ASCP in "Antibes" on a mirror and the backboards of the white bookcases - both on my stair landing, and I love it.Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681743103386838795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7500450738339997116.post-72917347241212673882018-02-26T12:13:52.180-06:002018-02-26T12:13:52.180-06:00Can’t wait to see what you do!!

Attempted wallpaper and my challenge was getting the paper to stay with push pins and wasn't happening. I can't afford to damage these as hubby will not be happy....painting is out since he's a purist on wood. I'm interested in what my options are in making this happen. Definitely like the wrapping paper because I have black/white large dots paper as my sideboard runner in the dining room - thought that was creative and love the look! Intrigued by all of these as they are beautiful and exciting! Who would have thought the day would come where we are doing this to the inside of bookcases? =) So look forward to your transformation Jen!Julie Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146581880952603770noreply@blogger.com
