White Shelf Re-do


I inherited a plain white bookshelf from my office about 2 weeks ago. I knew I wanted to jazz it up to use as storage in my dressing room. I didn't feel like painting it though.

Not the actual bookcase. I forgot to take a picture before I started putting the contact paper on it.
My idea was to get pretty contact paper to cover the shelves. I went looking for said paper and found a great variety at Marshalls.


They had a bunch of different colored geometric prints. 2 rolls for $5.99. I can handle that! I decided to buy the blue zig zag and black honeycomb.

The blue zig zag went on the backing of the bookcase.
The black honeycomb covered the shelves.
Voila!! Now it is the perfect display case for my Bakelite bangles, lucite purses, and jewelry box.


I also added all my perfume bottles on the new vanity mirror I got at the swap meet.
On the bottom row I have a bin of scarves and more purses. In the future I hope to fill that space up with more lucite purses :-)
My bakelite bangles.
My packed jewelry box.
This is just the first part of my dressing room redo. Right now I have an old futon, boxes of vintage clothes, and my steamer crowded in there. I am waiting to pick up a vintage 40s corner hutch my friend Monica is giving me. It will be redone as well, and will be used to hold the rest of my stuff. I would like to put my vanity in there but I have to save some room for guests when they stay over.
