What do You Think?

I don't like to write about the same topics right on top of each other, and I know my last post was completely frivolous too, but I just had to show off my new and improved book shelf. I'm really not trying to turn this into a decorators blog, I promise. Anyway, I found this piece of junk book shelf at the local thrift store. It had whitewashed wood on the sides and a white paint that was sloppy and unfinished on and in the shelves. It was UGLY! But, I loved it at first sight because the shelves were the PERFECT height to hold a DVD, and shallow enough that it wouldn't take up space in the room. After having our DVDs stacked on the TV stand for several months, I was sick of straightening them all the time and trying to keep them off the floor, and this was the solution I had been looking for. My plan was to give it a nice clean paint job in either white or black. However, I saw this cool paper idea on the Better Homes and Gardens website and loved it. So, basically the transformation just took some black paint around the exterior of the unit (to make it pop), some clean white around the inside of the shelves and some varied (but similarly themed) scrapbook paper for the back of the shelves. I also got a few accessories in a lime green (the new accent color I am using in the front room). I am super happy with how it turned out. What do you think?
