  • My husband found this wardrobe on the side of the road and brought it home for us to completely makeover. I was inspired by the look of chinoiserie and ginger jars and wanted to recreate that look and feel on a piece of bold furniture.
    This second hand makeover is one of the several videos included in the thrift flip road trip playlist hosted by ‪@CraftingCousins‬

    I have a small childs wardrobe very similar to this. I bought it about 15 years ago and have moved to different states 6 times in the past 15 yrs(husband was military) and took it with us with every move. I started to renovate it about 10 yrs but never fully finished it. Once I get my garage unpacked(just moved 3 months ago and didn't unpack fully due to renovating house first) and create a workshop in it, this will be my first project.

    • @DesertDIY
      @DesertDIY  2 роки тому

      I have heard of that! I learned that if you soak fabric in starch, you can stick it to the wall without it doing any damage to the drywall. It peels right off if you ever want to redo it later. The trick is finding a fabric with a pattern that repeats well enough to work as wallpaper
