Left over wallpaper - DIY

I love this DIY project from Shannon Fricke who did this for The Woman's Weekly - the perfect way to jazz up an old piece of furniture whilst making stunning use of those left over wallpaper pieces that you just didn't quite know what to do with! Clever lady she is!

    That looks amazing and even better than being matchy matchy!

    Something about it suggests Japanese art... along with a touch of tropical art too. Very relaxing and meditative, soothing colors.

    Yes I saw this one too. Gorgeous.
    Love the 'palm leaf' paper on the bottom right. So divine.

    Now, that is clever!

    I have sample wallpaper pieces that I have been trying to find a good home project to put them to good use.

    Cheers!

    ...it reminds me of lining the linen drawers with gift wrapping paper. A good old favorite.

    Cheers!..again.

    What a great idea! I have an ugly china cabinet I've been wondering what to do with - some wallpaper would be fabulous in the back!

    What a fun idea. Stores that sell wallpaper might be willing to give away old books with samples, making this a no-cost project.

    This is a great idea - think I'm going to do that with our TV cabinet which I don't particularly love-
    absolutely love your blog - you obviously love colour which is a good thing - I love colour as well
