January Jumpstart: Bookcase Two Ways

Posted by Blueprint

Some of the submissions for the January Jumpstart contest are now being displayed on Apartment Therapy. We love that two contestants tackled bookcases -- in two totally different ways.

We're digging the baroque flair that black and white printed papers (she used wrapping paper, notecards, and gift bags) add to Malinda's bookcase.

And we think that Theresa's bookcase bar is a genius idea. What a clever use of space!

I saw this idea on The Feathered Nest blog a while back and I've been dying to try it! http://thefeatherednest.typepad.com/the_feathered_nest/2007/11/using-what-you-.html

I have the perfect "secretary" cabinet that's just begging for this treatment but I haven't found the perfect background yet.

I love this idea! I have wanted to make a small stylish home bar for a while now, but have not liked anything I have found.
