A chippy chest of drawers
a pretty purple and pink map
a pretty purple and pink map
and a whole new look.
There once was a chippy old painted chest of drawers
that was ready for a makeover.
But not a permanent makeover.
Just a fun new look for a bit.
Though I love the patina on this old chest-
we decided to refresh it a bit for my daughters room.
And I wanted to refresh it in a
‘I can change it back if I want to’
way rather than with paint
which is a bit of a bigger commitment when dealing with patina.
And that chippy shabby patina- well, I love it.
So this piece is definitely something I didn’t want to paint
and change completely.
So I ordered this awesome peel and stick wallpaper that is a HUGE world map in pretty
pinks and purples.
And decided to try it.

A few battles with the wallpaper sticking it to itself
and the not plumb, not straight and in no way shape or form same size drawer fronts
try to get ALL of that lined up
30 minutes later…

and it turned out like this.
It isn’t perfect of course-
because this chest of drawers is a little on the wonky side and wasn’t perfect to begin with
and I did not paper the frame boards in between the drawers.

SO basically…

Well, you might get lost.

But if you are looking for a fun and easy way to make over a dresser
this is a great way to do it.
And I shared the whole process in a video.
I want to thank you all SO much for all of your kind comments
and for clicking the ‘thumbs up’
on my first video for Wayfair last week.
I appreciate it so much.
It is not easy to put yourself out there in front of a camera
and you guys made it so much easier.
So here is the video for week #2-
