'Blah' to 'Beautiful' Bookcase

Did anyone see the Nate Berkus Show yesterday?

The segment was '$5 Home Fixes,' and they showed how to very inexpensively fix up a boring bookcase. A striking fabric was added to the back panel--Easy! I don't think this photo really gives it justice, it showed up a lot brighter when I watched it on T.V. Take a look!

I have a bookcase that could really use a little jazzing up. I am totally going to do this idea!
