Wardrobe IKEA hack

It's the simple things isn't it? I recently decided my daughter's wardrobe was too boring. I could either update it or I could buy a new one (was thinking of a smaller one from IKEA). But then I thought I'd rather extend the life of this one if I can and save the cash.

So… I thought I'd wallpaper it. It's a bit fiddly and I still haven't done the sides but if you've got a couple of hours or so it's worth doing. Here's the before...

and the after

Oh, and here's the cheap Rast drawers I got from IKEA (£20) which I painted with rustoleum's chalk paint in duck egg blue.  

 And here it is in situ in the room with the wallpaper patchwork behind. :)

A whole new wall for £4.77

Sorry for the absence. Hoping you'll forgive me as I had my second child 4 months ago. This is a short one as I'm in a bit of a hurry but thought I'd share this as I go... 

Cost: £4.77

Process: 1. Divide your walls into squares the size of a width of wallpaper (beware not all wallpapers are the same width as I learnt the hard way!) I put a boarder in for the alphabet as it didn't quite go. 2. Paint the squares you want painted with paint samples. 3. Cut the wallpaper samples you gather from DIY stores and wallpaper paste them in place. 

Voila!! 😉
