The photo above does not reflect how this nightstand looked when I purchased it. I was so excited to get started, I forgot to take a photo of the 'before' view. The nightstand was painted in white matte paint and had a baby blue and leaf green sponged overlay. Since that was not quite the look I was going for, I spray painted it with white gloss Krylon paint plus primer.
I knew as soon as Spoonflower announced their ballet contest theme I could work with the design in her room. She is such a girly girl and loves ballet and princesses. So, I purchased a 2ft piece of Graceful 1950's Ballerinas in Turquoise and Coral wallpaper (they sell wallpaper by the foot) of my ballet design from Spoonflower to upcycle the drawers. The process is really quite easy and instructions come with the wallpaper. The hardest part was embossing the wallpaper around the rectangular ridge on the drawers. When I was done, I had enough paper left over to also add a wallpaper inset to the top. I added new drawer pulls.
In other news, Spoonflower has 2 for 1 fat quarters starting tomorrow and the sale runs Nov 6-11.
I plan on purchasing some knit fabric in Hexie Roses Deep Hues and the coordinate Profusion of Roses in Red to make a dress or leggings for my daughter. I plan on covering some dining room chair cushions in Yellow Wagtail Birds on Dogwood Branches in one of the heavier polyesters. Many of the knits and polyesters are 56 inches wide. That makes a pretty big fat quarter. You can find out the specs on the different fabric types here. I bet you have some projects that you could use this sale for too.
