Decoupage Postcard Drawers

Hey, guys! Today I want to show you how I added one more update on Francesca- decoupage postcard drawers.

You remember Francesca, don’t you? She is the French-y little end table with the postcard graphic on the top.

She was looking fine, all gussied up, but she had a dirty little secret.

And you know what mama always said about making sure you have clean drawers in case you’re ever in an accident.

Sooo, I did a little sprucing up. Yeah, yeah, I know, I swore I’d given up on decoupage after the decoupage pumpkin fail. What can I say? I had that big ol’ bottle of Mod Podge left over. I used it to glue scrapbook paper to the bottom of the drawers, and in keeping with the postcard theme on top, I printed more postcards from Graphics Fairy, cut them out, and added them as well. After everything was glued down, I went over it all with more Mod Podge.

The solid purple paper doesn’t look as pretty as the script paper I used in the first drawer.  Ah, well, just using what I had on hand.

Much better! Francesca has clean drawers, mama is happy, all is right with the world.

What creative or unusual way do you line drawers?

Doodles,

    • Thanks so much, Mel. I use my inkjet. I wish I had a laser printer so I wouldn’t have to run out for copies when I’m doing transfers!

      • Hi Sheila. What a great transformation. Shall definitely file it in my memory bank. ☺

    • Thank you so much for the idea. I had old love letter and envelopes from my great grandma that I saved just because. I am gathering everything up and going to do this to the dresser drawers in the antique dresser she left to me. What an awesome way to personalize a family treasure!

  2. Very pretty, Sheila! Love how you carried the postcard theme inside the drawers.

  3. So pretty, Sheila. What a great idea! You really dressed up Francesca! She looks wonderful!
