I took the rustic wood shelves, painted them red, added a victorian wallpaper to the backboard, and red and white checked lining to the shelves. I hate sticky contact paper, which I never use and messes up your furniture! You can't easily interchange it you stick it down permanently. The shelves are great for storage (old towels). The crockware I use to store garbage bags. I think rooms like this should be functional and pretty as well. If rooms are a mess, you don't feel like working in them!
