Pinterest Project #1

Nate and I happened to have very similar bookcases when we got married, but after moving to Indy, we decided they needed sprucing up. So we decided to put wallpaper on the back. I thought this would be a simple, cheap project to make them "new" again. Well, not so much. There's a lot of steps involved, at least how we did it. Nate was determined to replace the cheap cardboard on the back with plywood, which added to the difficulty and cost.  But we are happy with them. See for yourself.

Nate said that MY project turned into HIS project :)




Letting the wallpaper soak in water - I had no idea, and I mean
NO idea that wallpaper was soaked in water first. 





Cheddar - always in on the action

I'm about to start my next pinterest project! I think this one will be more fun for me. But for all who know me, I'm not crafty crafty. So we'll see.
