She says, "I took the desk, sanded it and then decoupaged the top with pictures of 1950's pinups and put a piece of glass on the top to protect the photographs. Then I painted the rest of the desk matte black, and attached a hook on the underside in order to have a place to hang my hair dryer.
Additionally I took a Fira mini chest, painted it black as well to match and use that to store all my miscellaneous beauty products. I'm pretty proud of the end result, hope you like it too!"

Wow, I *love* that. I've always wanted to decoupage furniture, but I'm worried the end result will look tacky. You did a fine, fine job!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I adore pinups - where did you collect all of your materials?
All I did was google "pinups" and tons of pics came up, I also used some old postcards I had and made color copies of them so that all the paper would be the same thickness.
