Furniture+Decoupage+Maps
Don't you just love decorating with maps? I found a in need of serious love buffet/sideboard at a garage sale, the veneer was all messed up but that didn't matter to me and especially not for the cheap price tag.
I removed all the veneer to expose the solid wood underneath, most of it just popped off, but I had to work on the top a little.
I painted it using my old paint finish technique and matched one of the blues that was in the map I was using on the front drawers.
I even lined the drawers with the index pages from the back of the atlas.
Next time you see a piece that's in need of love, think decoupage!
Just an FYI, this cutie is for sale.
