These house-bound days during the long Ohio winter make me
feel a bit antsy and I am frequently looking for something to do inside that
will add a bit of spark and light to life.

I love the feeling of a good bookshelf purge and organizing
session and I thought I would share a few ideas for dressing up shelves and bookcases to
make them appear more interesting, unique, and vibrant.

I’m a minimalist at my core – I adhere to the “less is more”
philosophy so most of what I am drawn to are things that I think are treatments
that are fun and designs that will endure over time.

Paint, wall covering, leather and fabric are all great ways to
treat the inside of bookcases.
I
especially like the wall covering idea because it is an easy way to incorporate some texture and pattern.

Why would you ever have a boring bookcase when you can kick it up a
notch and create something interesting???

Be on the lookout – I'm predicting more painted finishes on
furniture, mill-work, and BOOKCASES.

Painted bookcases with a contrasting interior – I think it’s
coming back into fashion.

What do you think?
Ready to open a can of paint or buy a roll or two of wall covering. I say - be bold,
and just go for it!
