So I went online to see what I could find and see if anyone else has given a cheap bookcase a chic makeover. Here is what I found:
This black and white beauty is nice. You should see what it looked like to begin with. You can get this look with the help of this Apartment Therapy tutorial.
Home Made Simple took one bookcase and gave it three different makeovers. The BHG.com site has nine bookcase makeovers and another site, The Pepper Design Blog, has some funky fabric ideas for covering old bookcases. I think the idea I love the most is Country Living’s DIY bookcase. They took old dresser drawers and transformed them into a bookcase. Now that’s a crafty repurpose and super upcycle. It doesn’t help me with my cheap bookcase but it does make me want to be on the lookout for old dressers and drawers. What about you have you given a bookcase or any other furniture a crafty green makeover?
