Media Cabinet Makeover With Decoupage

by Paula Skulina

Being known as the neighborhood trash picker has its advantages. When I told my new neighbors that I rescued a few things from their trash pile, they invited me in and offered to let me have a white laminate Crate and Barrel media cabinet that wouldn't fit into their new home. I originally planned to use it for craft storage in my basement, but after giving it a makeover with paint and decoupaged doors, this piece will find a place in the main living area of my home.

Something fishy is going on! This cabinet got a totally new look with paint and paper decoupaged to its doors.

This Crate and Barrel laminate stereo cabinet was in great condition but was quite boring.

Wouldn't this fish themed media cabinet look great in a lake or beach cottage?

  @Lisa Battisti - I painted it the mod podge on the cabinet, put the paper on, smoothed it out, let it dry, and then put mod podge on top of the paper to seal it.

  @Terry Howson - Thank you. I found it at an art shop who sells single sheets of wrapping paper.
