UPDATE FURNITURE WITH VINYL DECALS

Pinterest Challenge Week 1

I'm always looking for cool ways to infuse color into the nursery.  You see, Mingo & Grace share a nursery and since they are boy/girl twins I wanted to keep the nursery neutral. Well, neutral turned into an all white nursery which was okay when they were babies, but now its time to layer in some color.

I purchased these City Wall Decals from French Bull with the intention of applying them to the nursery wall, but never got around to doing it because I couldn't decide which wall to put them on.  So instead of continuing the nightmare of painting Ikea furniture, I decided to use the decals to update their plain white Malm dressers instead.

Thanks to the Pinterest Challenge I have actually completed a Pinterest project. Yay me! Here it is:


Why one red drawer? That's what I was referring to when I mentioned continuing the nightmare of painting Ikea furniture. The original plan was to spray paint the dressers red, but it was much more work than I was willing to commit to at that point. This was probably the easiest projects I've done in awhile. You simply just peel and stick. If you change your mind, don't fret the decals are removable.
