MY DRESSER REDO



I recently redecorated my 19 year old daughters bedroom and gave it a more grown up look. It use to be 2 shades of bright neon pink, a light and a dark. It was blinding when you entered the room. Now, it is a calming cool ocean blue. It is decorated with old pictures of Marlyn Monroe and Kathryn Hepburn, two of her favorites. She has an old soul, we say, lol. Along with the ocean blue, we have red (deep maroon) black, with tiger stripes and white. She is a lover of clocks, all clocks. So, I got this brilliant idea to redo her white dresser and I think it is turning out good so far. I first covered the dresser with a more expensive scrapbook paper that cost me $.99 cents each. It was super thick and I knew it would outlast anything. I coated the paper with hod podge on bottom and top. I let that all dry. I found some scrap paper that had clocks on it and I cut out the ones I wanted. Once again I hog podged them on to the top. I still have a lot of work to do, as I am still adding more color to the top, as well as doing the drawers the same way. I'm just not covering the entire drawer with the design. I will post the finished dresser when I'm done....
