It's another snow day here in New York. We really got a ton of snow this time. Being stuck in the house so much has given me a chance to do some little projects around the house that I might not otherwise get around to doing.
As you know we just painted our dining room a lighter and brighter color. There is a small bookcase built into the columns that separate the living room and dining room.
I decided to take the bookcase from ordinary to something a bit more special.
I started by emptying out the bookcase. It turned out the bookcase needed a little touch-up so I pulled out the paint and painted the shelves.
Next I used temporary wallpaper I had left over (which is the same wallpaper that I used to cover the DIY magazine holders).
It only took a few minutes for this update.
I had already edited what was going back before I decided to add the wallpaper, so it was easy to put everything back.
I love easy projects that make such a big difference.
Can't wait to hear what you think.
