Take your boring bookcase and give it a facelift by adding a screen door. You can give it a distressed look to add "old time flair" or even stain it in a more classic wooden look.

Add a shelf and decorative scroll pieces - these features add both beauty and functionality as well as provide added shelf space for candles, photos or books!
