Fabric Covered Bookshelf

My daughter has slowly been changing
 over her bedroom by taking out the pink and adding turquoise. 
 
 We've painted a dresser ombre and now a bookshelf is complete.

 
It started out pretty beat up.
 

 
Priming helped a lot.
 
 
Sprayed it turquoise and used some very heavy fabric for the back.
 
 
Staged it just for fun.
 
 
(the really funny part is that now that it's in her bedroom it's covered in books and you can hardly see the fabric that I painstakingly applied to the back.)
 
I guess it's function over form this time.
