I am in the process of building the same type of thing. I bought used wooden bookshelves and a 100-year-old fireplace mantle that was taken out of an old farmhouse. It is beautiful oak.

Because I didn't want to do anything permanent to the backs of the bookcases, I wallpapered very thin panels of wood that were cut to size, and placed them behind the shelves. The shelves hold the panels in place (command strips would also help affix them temporarily).<br /><br />This is an easy, non-committal way to add a little color/pattern. :)<br /><br />xo!IHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.com
