I had the most gorgeous Matthew Williamson wallpaper left over from our old house and have been desperate to do something with it.
I started my adding casters. These came off an old display unit I used at trade shows. Once I've filled this cabinet it's going to weigh a tonne and I know how much I like to rearrange things so for once in my life I've planned ahead!!
Once the casters were on it was time to spray the sides. I knew it would be a nightmare to line the paper up on all sides so I decided to spray the edges in a matt black to break it all up a bit.
I love using spray paints (not because of the toxic smell!) but because it's such an instant result and it goes on brilliantly. Although I do have to hold myself back and remember that several light coats is better than just doing 1 think drippy coat!
Then basically it was the fun bit! I started with the top and just worked round the sides then did the fiddly drawers last.
I'm so pleased with the result, now I just need to do the numerous coats of varnish to make it a bit more hardwearing. There are so many great wallpapers in the shops now and it's such an easy way to jazz up a piece of furniture. I got this wallpaper from B&Q in the sale rack for £1 per roll! Criminal!
Hope you like it! xx
