if you happen to have a really old beat up dresser that you don’t use, take out the drawers and paint them a a bright color, line them with some cool wallpaper and turn it into a sweet-looking shelf!

    There are lots of neat wallpapers out there, but everyone wants to sell you a whole roll. Is there any place that just sells odds and ends?, e.g. the small amount it would take to do a project like this? Thanks! :)

    Megs – you can try a paper store. They sell poster sized sheets of paper in all different patterns and textures. I love Casa Papel in Philadelphia. Or you could use old maps to line the shelves.

    I saw something really similar in the ReadyMade book.
    That magazine is a must have for the creative mind.

    I once did something similar with old drawers that were being discarded from my apartment building– from a kitchen that was being re-done. I really like the idea of lining the drawers for some extra color. One could also try wrapping paper or contact paper, available in lots of patterns in hardware stores (designed for lining shelves and drawers)– or even scented drawer liner paper, which is often available very cheaply at places like T.J. Maxx.

    :)
