Five Days of Fall: Fall Inspired Bookshelf

Abi Zimmerman
by Abi Zimmerman
Welcome to Five Days of Fall! Instead of my usual one post this week I’m writing five, each with a different fall-themed idea. Nothing fancy, just some simple, inexpensive ways I cozy things up around here when the leaves start to turn. Today I’m kicking it off by giving my plain-Jane bookshelf a seasonal facelift.
Here's the "Before" pic. Not terrible but not cozy enough for Fall.
I started by lining the back of the shelves with wrapping paper that looks like textured fabric. Then I added a wooden bowl full of pumpkins.
The books went in next. A simple tip for decorating with books: choose ones that match the color scheme you’re working with. You can see I picked mostly orange, yellow, red and black. It adds seasonal color without spending any money.
A few more finishing touches and it's done. Visit the blog to see more photos and details.

    Thank you Hannah! I bought that wrapping paper years ago because I loved how it looked like fabric. It's taken me all this time to find the perfect place to use it. Now it's officially a justified purchase, right? :)
