How to transform your bookshelf into a Pinterest-inspired masterpiece — for under $150

Before and after: a drab set of bookshelves get a massive facelift, on a budget.

This week, in our new home video series The Home Primp, we set out to transform a pair of old bookshelves into a beautiful focal point for a bright bedroom.

The challenge: The shelves weren't pretty to look at, and the owners knew it. They had been wanting to replace them for over two years, but never got around to it. The result? A mess of books, magazines, trinkets and miscellaneous objects piled high in mismatched, falling apart shelves.

How we primped it: We culled the books Marie Kondo-style, decked out three white Ikea bookshelves in fun wallpaper and did a complete re-organization to make space for all the great things the owner's had. The result? A room game-changer, with cute storage solutions and all of their favourite books and art on display.
