We bought these Billy bookcases 3 years ago to help with our storage in the loft. They worked but it BOTHERED the heck out of me how cheap they look. I think it is the fact that the back portion folds up so you can see the creases. I am sure most people don't even notice it...but I am weird....I notice small things.
So to make them appear better, I decided to line the back with grasscloth wallpaper. I actually bought it from Lowes and it was super cheap....I think $40 for both with lots of extra.
EASIEST DIY EVER!!
All you have to do is remove the backs.
Then place over the grasscloth and trace with a pencil.
Cut around edges using a metal ruler and xacto knife.

Use spray adhesive and attach to the bookcase. Matt came in handy for this to help with the bubbles. I ran out so I used double sided tape on a portion of one because I didn't feel like running to the store.
Slide back into place and you've got yourself a snazzy looking bookcase!
Cheers!
