Floral Bookcase Backing

 Chintz floral fabric is wrapped over foam core

 to line the back of my living room bookcases.

 Remember these delicious draperies I found on my antique hunt darling?
(Using Martyns's accent from Million Dollar Decorators here)

None other than the Prince of Chintz, Mario Buatta, designed this fabric!

I hung them up as draperies, but since I only had one pair, they didn't quite work~

so my mind went back to the 

beautiful bookcases in the living room of Annette Tatum.

I just love this romantic living room decor.

Just like that, the scissors came out 
and the fabric was cut.

I wrapped the precious fabric around the foam core board and 

secured it with a fancy duct tape that Mr. MD had bought recently. 

I prayed I would love it...and stepped back to have a look.

Yes, I think I do like it, but I have to finish the entire bookcase to be sure.

Of course the store only had one piece of foam core, 

so I will be getting more tomorrow somewhere else.

That is when I can put all the new (old) things together~like this pretty mirror.

Its lines are more interesting than the old oval one that was there.

Can you believe my french phone works? 

Well almost! It has a dial tone, you can call people, and it rings!

I can hear who is calling, 

but no one can hear me! Ha! 

Well, we have a retired phone company friend who

will be able to cure that issue hopefully. 

I love looking at that phone, it makes me feel so fancy!

Today  I will be busy making more fabric panels for my book case.

And maybe one giant delicious pillow for the sofa too!
