In case you've been on a Siberian holiday for the last year and haven't heard of O'verlays you can go here and read my post about them or you can go take a look at their site.
This is how the boring Ikea dresser began her life.
I gave the dresser fronts a coat of paint to match the bookcase I made for Olivia's room last year. Read about here if you need a refresher.
Lastly I attached the O'verlay (this one happens to be aptly named "Olivia"). I didn't even bother to photograph it because it's so darn simple. They come with little peel and stick adhesives but I found that wasn't enough so I added finishing nails.
I have a second set to try out on some atrociously ugly side tables and I plan to spray those ones. Look for the exciting post coming soon!
Happy Friday.
Love the dresser! Such a simple addition, but it makes a huge difference! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletecarol that is AMAZING!!!!!!!! i LOVE it!!!! the colors and design are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you shared this, it looks like a super simple way to dress up a plain piece. I have a feeling a lot of us will start looking out for simple furniture pieces at thrift stores so we can tackle this project too.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering what you were planning to do with your overlays! Olivia's dresser looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, Carol!
