Dirty drawers? Decoupage them! :)

I posted earlier about updating my end table with paint and postcard graphics. Well, Francesca also needed a little update behind the scenes, so to speak. Another fun project thanks to Karen - The Graphics Fairy #MyCurrentProject

I decoupaged printouts of postcards inside the drawers of my end table to tie in with the postcards on the table top..

Francesca's drawers all cleaned up with a little decoupage magic.

Thanks, everyone. Wallpaper is another option I've used for lining drawers, but I wanted to coordinate with the postcard graphic on top of the table.

Renee Potter Leet , try placing coffee beans in the drawers. I throw just a few in the drawers for several days, has worked well for me.

I really like this idea. I definitely intend to try this one. No more drawer lining paper!

Thanks, ladies. It's a fun little surprise when you pull open the drawers. Well, until they get filled with junk. :)

Love this and it's a nice way to display pretty cards, paper, maps, tickets, programs, etc. They're hidden works of art and cost nothing -- thx for sharing!!!

I love this! I just acquired and old dresser that has some drawers like that! Now I know what to do for them. I only just laid paper inside them, but this is a much prettier idea! Thanks

What a good idea Joyce I always wonder what to do with my favorite calendars. I have several cat calendars from Jim Patterson..silly cat drawings, so cute! Good idea.Wouldn't it be funny to see a guest reading the "drawers'???
