Lovely! Makes SUCH a difference! It’s hard to believe it’s been THREE YEARS! I’m soooo grateful I found your channel “back in the day” - it was and continues to be a wonderful place to hang out, learn, laugh, be inspired and share! Thanks, Gretchen!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
What a great tip, it looks just like carved wood. I’m even going to try and cut something specific on my Cricut as I have an owl themed bedroom in my dolls house, or rather I will once it’s actually put together and not just a box of materials, gathered pieces of furniture and a plan in my head 😂 the paper lace possibilities are endless! Love your wardrobe glow up! Xxx
LOL that "safe place". My mom always said when she put something there it was never seen or heard from again lol! I like that wardrobe much better with the paper lace on it!
Hello Gretchen, it turned out so pretty, it really does look like carved wood, I really enjoy watching your videos. Have a lovely week. Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
It was a good piece before, but now it's a show-stopper! 🥰 Saidi and Marguerite will enjoy having such a gorgeous armoire in their room. 😊 Speaking of which, we haven't seen how the dolls are preparing the newlyweds' room for their return. I'm very curious about the changes in the rooming house. The changes in the new house are exciting, but the rooming house has not been forgotten. 🙂
It turned out beautifully! Funny thing, my neighbor and I were just talking last night about putting things in a 'safe place'. I told her not to do it because she would never find it again! LOL That has definitely been my experience!
It looks spectacular!! I am a champion of putting things in “safe” places , just to not see them again for ages!! Luckily, I always have several projects in the works at any given time!!😂😍💙💙😘
I thought I was the Queen of "Putting it somewhere safe" but I have competition! Lol theres a lot of stuff "somewhere safe" in my room! Love the effect on the wardrobe Gretchen❤
I don't call those stains that have got mixed colors "contaminated." I call them a new color. I do it on purpose all the time. Gretchen! I am an organizing fiend. If you put me up for two days, I'll come and make it so you can find ANYTHING in your workshop at all times. But, of course, some folks love the artistic chaos system. But it is an option.
It looks absolutely beautiful your so clever with what u come up with 😊I wonder if u could do the same sort of thing on a real wardrobe using an antique lace table cloth 🤔❤and hugs from Australia xxx
Thank You! I think you could!! Mod Podge has been known to help create some amazing finishes! 😀 Maybe try it on something small or scrap piece of wood to test the concept then decide from there!! I hope this helps thank you so much for watching I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
That looks so cool, it reminds me of some of my grandma's furniture from the 30s! I've tried something similar with my die cutting machine, but I painted the finished piece instead of staining it, I will have to try your staining technique. The nice thing about cutting dies is that you can make the same lacy shape over and over again, and you can use different weights of paper. Also, glad to know someone else puts things in special places and then forgets where they are!😅
Those safe places, so safe you never see your treasures again....Lmfao!!!! Somewhere I must have a whole warehouse of those things that I've tucked away somewhere safe, but heaven knows where it is because I CAN'T FIND IT!.
So gorgeous! This is such a beautiful wardrobe as is but what a transformation. I have some paper lace that was gifted by a dolly friend, now I have some ideas. I have too many safe places myself and dream of an even partly organized space. That "contaminated" color is SO PRETTY. It does me know good when you show something amazing then say it's not best practice. I just cross that second part out of my memory 😂💕💕💕🥰✨

I never thought of paper lace. I have a Cricut so I can make it. Great idea!
Looks like it better suits the era of your house. I need to use Mod Podge on the cabinet and table I just made. Thanks for mentioning it.
That really turned out nicely, might have to 'steal' that one!
I'm saving this to my Pintrest 📌 thank you

Beautiful great job.💕 TFS.
Absolutely gorgeous. The paper lace is exactly what was needed to enhance the wardrobe.
What a delightful idea! I had never thought that staining paper would make it blend in with the wood so well, it's wonderful!
Lololol 🤣 l didn't either! I was playing around and this is what l got!! Thank You for being here!!💖💖💖😀
The Magic Wardrobe
You have good ideas and patience!💕
Amazing work once again. Your ideas are very beautiful and it brings life to the furniture. I would love to have a craft day with you 😊😊
Omg, contaminated wood stain, that's just like every paint and stain I own. And my life. I am just loving your channel.
Came out very nice.
It turned out beautifully!
Funny thing, my neighbor and I were just talking last night about putting things in a 'safe place'. I told her not to do it because she would never find it again! LOL That has definitely been my experience!

Same here ,things turn up when you least expect it .😀😀
I thought I was the Queen of "Putting it somewhere safe" but I have competition! Lol theres a lot of stuff "somewhere safe" in my room! Love the effect on the wardrobe Gretchen❤
Wow, it's gorgeous!! ❤
The dresser looks great! And you made me laugh so hard talking about your contaminated wood stain! You are one in 1 million😂 💕
It looks like a really old piece. Looks great.
I love the color contaminated! Still here gurl but have so little time 😢

Looks gorgeous! And fyi it’s still called decoupage lol
This turned out so great!! You are so brave to try things out of the box!
Another 10:06 minutes well spent! A really neat idea with the paper coaster! Thanks 🙂

Love the armoir redesign! 👍🏾🤩 Simply gorgeous!
That Armoire looks so lovely with the detail🤩 Thank you for sharing this great idea!🥰
Love it! Is it possible to still purchase the armoire kit somewhere on line? 🖤🧡🖤
Those safe places, so safe you never see your treasures again....Lmfao!!!! Somewhere I must have a whole warehouse of those things that I've tucked away somewhere safe, but heaven knows where it is because I CAN'T FIND IT!.
