Striped Drawers

Before
After
I love finding old ugly furniture at yard sales.  I know I've said it before but it is extremely difficult to find new furniture that is solid and free of plastic.  That is why I was so excited to find this little side table for a measly $12 at a yard sale.  The guy threw in this amazing retro wallpaper as well.  Stay tuned for projects that feature that fab find in the future.

I opted to use my favourite new finish - bright paint with a layer of stain to give the finish an antique look.

I really believe in all the little touches - including lining the inside of the drawer with matching wallpaper.  The end result is as you see and really so much fun to pull together.
