Bookshelf Facelift
A few days ago, I posted about a nifty idea I saw over at Rhoda’s site. Got a note from Rhoda that she’d stolen the idea from another blogger. 
It’s what we bloggers do! We re-use… we recycle… we re-invent. So I gave the bookshelf facelift a go, and here is what I ended up with - it’s not nearly as well executed as Rhoda’s. I was pretty haphazard in slapping the paper on, I must admit. Some of my close friends may be surprised by the fact that I did not even attempt to match things up and make patterns repeat. I just couldn’t be bothered!
Oh yeah, there’s a story about the cat in the first photo. I’m sitting here at the computer, shortly after I’d said goodnight to Michelle via IM, and all of the sudden, the cat went absolutely NUTS because another cat came up to the glass door where my cat was sitting. She went SO nuts that she lunged and ATTACKED the door, which was apparently - and unfortunately - not completed closed. So kitty went flying out the door after the rival cat.It is now 6 hours later, and kitty has not returned. I looked for her for about an hour, in the middle of the night. She is nowhere to be found. She’s an indoors-only cat, but she isn’t declawed, and I suspect she can defend herself. But I just don’t know where she’s off to, or if she’s hurt, etc.
I’m putting her food & water bowls outside the front door and hope that she’ll find her way back. “Wow” (my kids named her) was a Katrina rescue cat, so she’s been through much worse!
After losing a cat I had for 15 years a few years ago and then starting over with this one that’s now disappeared, I have to say that if Wow doesn’t show up, I think I’m done with cats. I am more of a dog person, and I have two of those. It’s not that I don’t like cats; they just don’t like me… or they like me too much… or they become mentally challenged.
I think a nice, calm tree frog might make a good alternative.
On with the photos! I used 9 sheets of scrapbook paper and some sort of rolling adhesive thing that broke, twice, mid-taping (GRRRR! so then I ended up switching to craft glue).
Before & After:
yea, i was suprised it did not line up..you are branching out! Im proud of you!
You failed to mention you had help cutting the paper!
I did? Well, she WANTED to help cut the paper. I did let her glue a little… until she squirted a biggo BLOB on there. lol
PS - Kitty came home @ 1am, about 4 days later.
В очередной раз большое спасибо, хорошие что есть такие люди как вы, которые дают на самом деле полезные советы:)
Весьма спорно, но как вариант
Познавательная информация, приму к сведению. Спасибо!
Wow, this is really nice information, much appreciated.
I never thought of doing this. I have a book shelf in the guest bedroom that needs a pick me up. Would a wallpaper also work or would it be too difficult to work with?
I love the wall paper but what stands out to me the most is that cool green cup. I think that tops off that might cool look.
I can’t wait to try this. The bookcase looks amazing. It can hold some of my Scentsy Warmers.
With a little creativity, time and effort, even a novice handyman or novice home improvement person can put together some really neat furniture pieces.
Another great idea! Ok..I will be hanging around this site often! Glad your kitty returned :>)
Hey - great blog, just looking around some blogs, seems a fairly great platform you might be utilizing. I’m currently making use of Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as being a trial run. Something in specific you would suggest about it?
Only wanna remark on few general things, The website style and design is perfect, the written content is very good : D.
I conceive other website proprietors should take this site as an example , very clean and wonderful user friendly style and design .
