🛠️ Step-by-Step Overview:

1. Clean & Prep:Start by giving your bookshelf a good wipe-down using a cleaning cloth. Remove any dust, grime, or stickers to ensure a smooth surface for painting.

2. Paint:Choose a paint color that fits your aesthetic and apply it using a quality brush and tray. Depending on the original color of the shelf, you may need two coats for full coverage.

3. Add Wallpaper:Once the paint is dry, cut your wallpaper to fit the back panel of the shelf. Apply wallpaper adhesive and carefully smooth the wallpaper onto the surface. This adds an amazing visual detail and contrast!

4. Final Touches:Let everything dry fully before putting items back on the shelves. If needed, use a hammer to tighten or adjust the frame.
