For a while, I was searching for a wardrobe and somewhere to store my fabric for my guest bedroom, so a couple of months ago. I found a small wardrobe at a local community shop it cost £25. It fit the bill perfectly and was already painted black.
I felt it was boring and need some excitement, so I purchased some sticky back plastic from Lidl for £2.50. I bought this because it was cheap but I loved the black and white floral print with butterflies.
I decided to use it to decorate the doors. I rolled the full roll slowly applied to the door, I removed the backing and wiped with a cloth to prevent the sticky back plastic from puckering.
For the drawers I measured and cut the plastic to size, I neatened the edges with a Stanley knife. On the large door, there was a small gap, and I used decorative tape around the edges. I'm not sure whether to use the decorative tape on the drawers and the other cupboard.
I love the small inlay detail it looked lovely.

For the large door, I used a floral handle.
I used small metal knobs from Ikea. I purchased last year, I think Ikea has ceased producing them. I really like the effect it looks amazing and it suits the decor in my guest bedroom.
What a find! I have several such vintage pieces in my house, but I love how you made it "yours" with those details. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I always prefer older furniture as the quality is far superior commard to modern day furniture
DeleteThat is so beautiful! The floral handle is cute, and a well-thought detail, where did you get it? ^^
