Misty re-did her dresser with wallpaper.

I'm so proud of Misty - and I'm such a bad craft blogger. Let me explain. First, the reason I'm proud of Misty is because she sent me photos of her dresser re-do, and look what she did! She turned this dresser below into the dresser above. Isn't it amazing?

A little paint, wallpaper and Mod Podge and this dresser turns from ugs to fabulous. That brings me to being a bad craft blogger. Awhile ago (meaning September) I featured this filing cabinet and said I was going to do something with wallpaper and decoupage. I've also posted these coasters, this train case and this cart. All done with wallpaper and Mod Podge. And I haven't done it yet. I hope you will forgive me, forget about my slacking and be inspired by Misty. She doesn't yet have a blog, but I'm encouraging her to do so. And I bet she will keep her promises, unlike me. Just remember, dear readers, that I do care. I'll do better.

The wallpaper featured is from the Daydream collection by Julia Rothman for H&W. You can typically get scraps of fancy wallpapers from local shops, just as a tip. I'll leave you with the second project that Misty did, a keyholder with a different colorway of the same pattern.

So wait, you just call up the wallpaper place and ask for scraps? How des tis interaction take place? Maybe I'm being naive, I usually don't ask for free stuff for myself usually only for work!
