We are a family of book lovers. My husband and I both have this dream to one day own a fabulous library with walls covered in books; and we’ve passed that love on to our children (well the 9-month-old might not be there yet). To help contain the crazy amount of children’s books we’ve collected over the past four years, I got a cheap bookcase from the store. Unfortunately, that wasn’t “doing it” for me. So, I decided to DIY a faux-wood backed bookcase!

This looks awesome! I can’t wait to go to Hobby Lobby and snatch up some of this paper for myself! I have an entertainment center that’s too dark and I wanted to lighten it up a bit. This will be perfect. Thanks for the inspiration!
Sam says
Oooh I bet that’ll be awesome – I hope you love it!
