Shelf do-up...

I have been looking at bookcase do-overs on Pinterest.

 Which, if you didn't already know, is my other 'happy place'!

There are so many clever ideas to be found there for shelf.

Wallpaper on the shelf backboards.

Painted wood

Fabric mod podged on.

The list goes on.

I have always disliked my bookcase.

Ornaments just don't display well because the wood is so dark.

The 'Sitting Room' where the shelf resides has a lot of red and white in it, and it's pretty bright.

To fix these issues, I decided to simply paint the backboards of the shelf white, while leaving the dark wood everywhere else natural.

And what a difference it has made!

 My ornamental collectables stand out!

(I am wondering why it took me so long to do this!)

It has brightened up the wall too!

And the best thing is...

 My cute flying pig has wings for all to see!
