Expedit bookcase cover up

Another easy Expedit hack. Olivia gives it more colour with wrapping paper.

She says, "Here is what I've done with my Expedit bookcase. I wanted it to be more practical while giving it a more sophisticated look. So I bought gift wrapping paper, spray rubber, drawers, doors and Hedra knobs. I'm quite happy with the result."

  1. Hi Olivia,
    Can you give some more details on the spray rubber and where you bought the doors and the drawers from?
    Thanks,
    Meera

  2. meera - The doors and drawers look like the standard Expedit inserts but with different knobs.

    Cute hack! I'm especially impressed with how much the knobs change the look of the unit.

  4. I am guesting that spray rubber is spray glue/adhesive. Elmer's guide makes one - check out your local art or hardware store to find it

  6. Hey ! As someone said above, those are Expedit doors and drawers and I don't know where you can get the glue, I live in Switzerland, but mine was a 3M and I found it in an art supplies store. Hope that helps !
