Dresser Dressing


Before: green walls, purple trim, and silver dresser with blue/silver fabric over the drawers.













After: pale blue walls, cream trim, and white canvas covered dresser.















Supplies: spray adhesive, un-primed canvas (drop cloth will work), primer, polyurethane, scissors, and paint brush.

How to:
spray the surface with adhesive and the back of strips of canvas-- small portions at a time. Adhere the canvas to the dresser. Once the dresser is covered prime the canvas. After everything is dry coat the dresser with polyurethane and maybe two coats on top. I used a liquid but you can also use a spray and the color may not be quite as yellow.

Cost: $0 for me but very low if you don't already have all of the supplies.

2009


I just bought my 2009 calendar... well one of the 2009 calendars. I tend to have more than one. It was featured in an email I got from Paper Source today. I instantly fell in love with the beautiful letterpressed designs. Seems a little early to be buying calendars for next year especially since time seems to go by so fast anyway there isn't much of a need to speed it up, but I couldn't wait until December. I might break a rule and glance at each image before next year but then save them after that for their specific month. Enjoy.
