Weekend Project - Redesigning My Bookshelves Again!

DSCN1239

This past weekend I wanted to finish this project I have been working on for a while now that I just can’t seem to get right. Could this be my lucky day? Let me take you through the changes these bookshelves have been through in the past couple years.

You can read more about finding the right gray undertones to paint here.

Then I saw a photo with a cabinet built under the shelves just like mine. I purchased a standard kitchen cabinet at Home Depot and painted the same color as the shelves:

I was happy with them for awhile until I started my living room redesign a few months ago and then I wanted something more! This redesign is being built around this fabric that I have loved forever:

So when I saw this Amy Butler wallpaper at Joss and Main:

I knew what was going to help these shelves look even better:

And then I decorated with a few of my favorite things:

I am loving them again! I love to style them different ways with different accessories, but for now I proclaim them finished! (except for the lighting I want to put in the back.) :)

What do you think? I love wallpaper behind shelves, don’t you? Do you find yourself redesigning your home over & over again like me??
