Dresser Decoupage

I have been on a DIY binge as of late and I decided to do something with my dresser. I've had this Warhol "Marilyn" wrapping paper for about six years...I wanted to save it for something awesome. I wanted to decoupage the sides and top but alas there was not enough paper. I think it still looks pretty kickass!



All you need is a bottle of Mod- Podge, and some sort of paper you want to paste on. The wrapping paper seemed to work fine though there were a lot of bubbles. I think it kind of adds to it though so I left them. If you have an old wooden dresser that frequently gets repainted like mine, you should be good to go.




The whole project from start to finish only took an hour and a half.

Wowzers!

I've been a high school graduate for four days. What have I gotten done?

-Completely re-did my room including painting my bed (I still have to do some patching and buy a new mirror and dresser.)
- finished all my thank-you cards and am about to send them out
- finished filling out all that health information necessary for IU
- thought about taking my driver's test... soon!
- decided I AM going blonde... soon.
- Acquired many many freckles
and I've done all this while basically watching my 3 (almost 4) year old niece. It's nice to be a favorite aunt but... I feel like a mother already. She wears you out!

As soon as I get my new dresser and mirror I will put up a post about my room because I think it looks damn fab. BTW, does anybody know where to look for a solid upright wooden dresser without DAMN LAMINATE ON TOP? seriously, been to at least five large furniture places (new and used) and haven't found anything... Heading up to Elletsville tomorrow so wish me luck.

I think I need to start a new project... I've already started my junkie summer diet and watching tv a lot. I do start camp next week and the Orlando the next week so I probably won't have too much time to keep up this awful behavior but seriously. I think I'll go to the Y tomorrow or something...

Also, for all you townies, I tried Subacos in the mall today (vegetarian taco), and while the price was not too bad the food was. It was not very tasty and my mom (chicken sub) said it was really dry.

OK, more later maybe!
