This set of Ikea drawers was fixed to a wall in the garage, the Duke had used it to keep his fishing bits and pieces in it, but it was now empty and it seemed such a shame not to be used, so I decided to rescue it with the help of a gentleman with a drill!
I needed somewhere to put all my tealights and small candles and this was an obvious choice.
I decided that I would cover it with Collier Campbell Flower Patch wrapping paper as I wanted something really bright for my newly decorated utility room.
I outlined the edges in red Promarker pen and then simply covered the front of each drawer with the paper.
….. followed by layer after layer of quick drying clear varnish, goodness knows how many!!!
Et volia ….. sitting underneath one of my mirrors!

I've got one of these. Mine is bare of course, whereas yours is beautiful. Sorry I've been missing your posts lately :(
Wow! this turned out to be a real room brightener. Bet you smile every time you see it. I know I would!
Brilliant idea. It slo have one of those but not as pretty as this one.
Have a good weekend.
Hi, not sure how I found you, but I love what you have done with the ikea drawer set. They look stunning. I am hoping to follow you if I can find a box to fill in Lol.
