::a little spark

Nothing will get you motivated on home improvement projects quite like having company. I had my first out of town guest this past weekend (thanks for coming, Ashley!). The days preceding brought to fruition a couple of things I'd been working on. I'll share the first one today. As I mentioned before, I moved this bookcase out of the den and into my guest room.


Off to new territory...



It looks fine in this room, but with everything light and airy, the bookcase seemed to weigh down that little corner a bit more than I cared for. Solution=fabric. [Can't most problems be solved this way =) ] This ended up being a LOT easier than anticipated. The fabric I had cut was almost exactly the height I needed (happy coincidence) and most all the shelves were removable which eliminated excess cutting and measuring (I'll take it!) I have very graphic yellow pillows on the bed...so, take that into consideration before you judge the fabric selection!

After:

Close up:




Much better.

Very clever! I love the fabric idea.
