Just finished covering chair seat cushions and covered the back of a nondescript wood window with it! Love the molding that you added to the door too! It's wonderful to come up with creative ideas to completely change the look of something. Boy, sure wish I had a secret door to something. I like the minimalist look on the door shelves.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00234421029665169718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544113005073358127.post-59576738686457041402013-01-31T21:37:31.741-08:002013-01-31T21:37:31.741-08:00I too am CRAZY for toile!

My Father made me some free standing cabinets I've put in my kitchen and I have all my supplies set up to back it with the toile this weekend. Then to come to your site and see it done on your bookcase let's me know my decision to use the toile is the perfect choice! I guess great minds think alike!

I did the glass door cabinet in my kitchen the same way, except I used packing boxes {since we had just moved at the time and that was what I had on hand}. I still love how it looks and it really made a nice difference to the plainness that was there.

I just couldn't think at the time of what I would do with PINK--but now having not bought it I can think of a dozen uses (mais bien sur!!) <br /><br />That is a fabulous project mon amie!

Or did it come with the shelves already lined? That never would have occurred to me!
