My Office & Closet Shelf Makeover

Since I just moved into my house a couple months ago I'm trying to not make any drastic changes that I might not love forever.  That's why I decided to make an easy update to some shelves around my home, and if I ever want to change the appearance it's easy as can be!

For my bedroom closet, I have this nice little shelf system that is built into the wall.  The walls are white but I wanted to spice them up.  So I used Mineral Wrap from Smock! You can use this stuff as wrapping paper (and by the way it's double-sided with a different print on each side) or you can use it in a decorate way like I did. I thought of lining drawers with it but I really wanted to look at this beautiful grey design all the time. I used sticky tack to affix it to the back wall.   And if I ever want to remove it I can just pull it right off.


There is also in-wall storage in the office.  And I wanted a bit of a change with some more color.   So I used the Garden Path wrap from Smock.



I love the pretty aqua color and how it makes everything pop.  It was so easy to apply with sticky tack and I just love that it's still a nice shiny yet thick paper!

What would you do with wrapping paper?
