I've joined the party at Kimba's of A Soft Place To Land fame DIY Day, A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words 2nd Time Around, Southern Hospitality Today's Thrifty Finds & Twice Remembered's Make Your Monday & Between Naps on the Porch Metamorphosis Monday!
I love my wicker bookcases ~ got 'em for free too, now THAT is Thrifty! Friends offered them to me after helping them move to their new home. My husband pretended not to hear their offer ~ shame on him! They were destined for a yard sale & I just couldn't let THAT happen!
They look a bit of a hot mess with junk piled up in front of them.
I adored the fabric when I hot glued it to their backs ~I thought I was clever.
Now I've fallen out of love with this fabric and was yearning for change...
Of course the only real choice was BURLAP!!!
For less than $5 ~ an updated look
Be still my heart...
I have fallen back in love!
Makes a nice neutral backdrop for my treasures ~ they really pop now!
Just a touch of rustic texture to go with my wicker.
P.S. I put the faux greenery back up! I had to, it helps to keep the kitties off the top!

What a delightful little makeover. The burlap is just perfect with the white dishes.
Thank you so much for your visit to my rather last minute post. I just discovered Diane's blog this very evening.
I say when something is free...and you have the perfect spot (or not) :) how can you go wrong?
I had to smile at the backing on your shelves as I am planning to do the same thing with a large cabinet I have. I am painting it and then wallpapering the back. I prefer paper as it is easier for me.
Actually I love the fabric you replaced but either is nice..and I love burlap!
The shape of your shelves is wonderful as is your little makeover! Good job!!
Cute idea! I love burlap~trying to decide if I should do the same wth my hutch?
Wow, the burlap makes a fabulous backdrop!
Three cheers for Kitty Scraps. That burlap looks wonderful. I so agree with what you did. Those free bookshelves are beautiful. I didn't think anything would keep a kitty off of anything they have a mind to investigate. BIG smile.
Hugs...Jeanne

Great contrast of materials!!
