I couldn’t think of a better idea for a quick bookcase makeover. Adding a fabric backing is so genius I’m starting on two projects in my own home! Can’t wait to post :). Here are some nifty ideas for adding color and pattern to your bookcases — and a How-To after the jump from the fabulous blog The Nearest Future as well as some excellent inspiration from Decor 8 and Apartment Therapy!
It’s as easy as your favorite fabric, a staple gun and a few hours on a Saturday morning! This is by far the best way to quickly incorporate a color or pattern that won’t overwhelm your room, and that can be changed out as often as desired.
Apartment Therapy shares the above ideas for these simple bookcase makeovers.

I’m glad you liked my project – thanks for the link!
Darn…my daughter and I just put a bookcase together last night and nailed the backing that came with it on to it! Might have to remove it and use some fabric after reading this post!! :)
