We have been remodeling our home and changing out furniture. I have had the Shabby/Farmhouse look with all white for years.
But....Hubby said he just didn't think he could handle one more piece of white furniture. He wanted warm and cozy.....
***************************
He doesn't ask for much, but I did have to take a deep breath. We've been married 32 years and most of our furniture had been painted white, all the frames were white, all my wall decor...white...yikes!
I think shabby...
I think cottage....
So....
I found this inexpensive cubby shelf thing that YOU HAVE TO PUT TOGETHER YOURSELF! At Wal-mart. Very inexpensive. But I didn't want the fake board that hammers onto the back....so....
I had some upholstery fabric that had script writing on it...which I am addicted to at the present!!!

Below is the hideous fake cardboard you are supposed to hammer on the back...
UH NO!
Let's use this wrinkly pretty fabric instead...if I pull it tight enough you won't see the wrinkles...
**************************
IS A STAPLE GUN CONSIDERED A WEAPON OR POWER TOOL?
SO MIDWAY THROUGH THE STAPLING....
I realize there was not enough fabric either way I stretched it...
LOUD GROAN!
but not too worry...
I cut and pieced the fabric at the bottom of the shelf.
I figure once the cubby's are filled no one but me will ever know!
Well and a few bloggers...
shhhhh....
I don't want to have to shoot anyone!
This is how it looked before the little shelves were placed inside....
I'm liking it already.
It is now in the living room next to my grand piano...
Yep....it is a good fit! The shelves will hold some of my music...in an organized way...I'm hoping...
Big smile!
Blessings,
Debbie

That looks great! I think the fabric backing really dresses up that piece!
Yes, after almost 30 years for us...I've learned his tastes are just as important.
...that's why there is a fish on my wall with huge gold ornate frame around it!
Yes... I know it isn't classy...but it works.

That is such a great idea, Debbie--I love the script fabric and your piano is gorgeous as well!
