Howdy Everyone!!
Today I thought I'd show you the cute little skirts I made last night for my super tall, skinny bookcases. These bookcases have 7 shelves each, and they can hold a lot of stuff!!
Way too much in fact, so I made these flirty little skirts to try and hide some of the clutter, and the added benefits are I think they make the bookcases seem more substantial, and they warm them up a bit!
