Using Wrapping Paper as Drawer Liners
This was a simple DIY project that seems silly, but made a huge impact. I recently updated an old dresser for my office. Due to age, the drawers had a lot of wear and tear such as stains and old paint marks etc. I decided to use wrapping paper to line the drawers and add a little color along with freshening them up.
The biggest suggestion I have is to measure twice and cut once. It took me a few times to get this part right! Since both drawers were the same size, once I got the measurements right, I was good to go.
Here is how I did it.
I measured, then on a cutting mat used a utility roller to cut the paper to size.
Once cut, I used double sided tape to secure the paper to the drawer.
That's it!
Simple, easy and a big difference! I love the way they look. It makes me smile now every time I open them up!
Just think of the possibilities!
To life feeling like home!
XO,

The Sunday Letter
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.
If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
[…] You can see how I painted this dresser and gave it a new look with wrapping paper lined drawers here and here. […]
Not sure where you purchased your paper, but Papyrus at Kenwood is always doing amazing things. : )
