have you heard about pinterest yet?  it’s kind of like fantasy land!  really.  you get to ‘pin’ pictures all over the interwebs, and pinterest is the central holding spot for everything you might find even a little bit inspirational.  you can categorize however you like.  also fun is that you can peruse other people’s ‘boards’.  literally hours of entertainment, if you’ve got time, and i got sucked in for a bit today.

i am loving the idea of doing something to the back of our bookshelves to add a little more personality to our family room, so i did a little bit of digging.  after just a few minutes of looking at pictures – there were hundreds! – i ‘repinned’ a few to my boards.  this could be such a quick little project – you could throw up a little wallpaper or plain ol’ paint.  and the great thing is, it’s not a huge commitment, so if you hate it in a year, change it!  check out how just that little something gives such a kick to these built-ins.
