Bookcase project

This is another piece of furniture that I have had for many years.  I had it custom made from an unfinished furniture store.  I stained it a rich walnut color and added embellishments to the doors.  I had doors for the top also but recently removed them, filled in the hinge holes, sanded and restained those areas.  I am using the top as an open bookcase now.  I wanted to do something to "doctor it up" on the inside without painting.  I thought about wallpaper but I didn't want the hassle of removing it later, so....

........I decided to cut cardboard to fit the inside of the bookcase and cover it with fabric.  If I wanted to change it out later,  I can just remove the fabric and tape on something different! I found the perfect material in the remnant selection...and it was on sale!  I started with the correct measurements, (meaning I had incorrect measurements at first!  I hate anything with numbers!!) then cut the cardboard on my mat cutter.

I placed the cardboard on top of my fabric and began cutting. I chose a dark basketweave color because I didn't want the fabric to compete with the books....it would be to busy.  I taped the fabric around the backside of the cardboard with duct tape.  (My father-in-law lived by the phrase...."You can fix ANYTHING with clorox, WD40 or duct tape!"  He was RIGHT!)

I added stick-on velcro strips (about an inch long that I cut myself) on each corner and stuck the first panel on.  Yaayy!  It worked!  I then realized I would need to cut a hole in the opposite panel for the electrical cords.  Oh joy.  More measurements.... Anyway....here is the finished product!  I could have finished this in one afternoon but I cut the last two pieces of fabric the opposite way of the previous panels.....not good.  The different direction of the fabric design completely changed the color!  I had to go back to the store the next day to hunt through the REMNANT section to find the one yard of
fabric that was left!  Of course it was on the very bottom! And of course, it was NOT on sale anymore!  I argued with the saleslady but to no avail.  Oh well.....just thankful the fabric was still there!

                                                      On to the next project!  
                            Now, what to do with these little corbel cuties.....???
