We had a bookcase that we purchased from Wal-Mart a few years back. It was pretty sad looking, and so we purchased a roll of wall paper from Lowe's and gave it some personality. It's called Spanish Tile by Allen and Roth and is $21.00 for a roll. We have plenty left over for other projects we can come up with too.We took off the cardboard backing of the bookcase very simply. We just used spray adhesive to adhere the wallpaper to the cardboard panel on the back of the bookcase.
Thanks for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteYou gave that bookcase personality and a whole new life! Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteGreat makeover! I saw something similar on pinterest and they added some great ball feet. It looked like a very high end piece in the end. Thanks so much for linking up at Etcetorize this week!

Super transformation!
ReplyDeleteLove your bookcase. The paper really gives it a pop!
ReplyDeleteI just removed the doors from my kitchen cabinets and lined the walls with shelving paper. It is amazing what a pattern and pop of color can do for a shelving unit. Your bookcase looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe paper on the back is the perfect addition!
ReplyDeleteAll the sad looking went away inmediatly with that beautiful paper! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic addition to that bookshelf - makes it look like a bar accessory with the glam factor!
ReplyDeleteLove it :)
Megan, that looks AMAZING. What a great custom bookcase you have now. No one would guess that started as a Walmart bookcase. That wallpaper is FABULOUS. And, I love that instead of filling it with books, you filled it with drinking glasses...when can I come over for a drink :)
ReplyDeleteThats a great idea !
ReplyDeletelove the pattern and your bar accessories look fab great job
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! What a great use for leftover wallpaper!
ReplyDeleteThanks for including the source!I love that wallpaper and now I want to go run out and grab some. I too have some ugly walmart bookcases I need to update...
ReplyDeleteLooks great!! Thanks for sharing - the bookcase looks great. I'm glad you linked up at Take it on Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteOh my heck, this is so cute! What a good idea to add some variety to your bookshelf! We just barely bought some really cheap bookshelves last month and they're honestly kind of an eye sore. I'm going to be doing this for sure! Thank you so much for teaching me Megan! :) Thank you also for sharing this at my link party. You are great!
