Just completed the finishing touches on my sons old dresser...I painted the whole thing a glossy black---applied 1960's sheet music including the Beatles ---Bob Dylan---and more---I couldn't help but sing along as I was working! The bird cutouts are from a hardcover vintage 1950 children's book with amazing graphics that I bought for .25 at our local library ---then I added vintage glass knobs absconded from another old dresser in our house--Finally, several coats of Mod Podge---and then multiple coats of clear varnish.
I had SO much fun doing this large project--I have listed a couple of decoupage items I recently finished in my Etsy store---long tall sallys--and I will be adding about 3 more items very soon.
I'm having a blast searching thrift stores and just lately a very good auction last Sunday for the perfect wooden boxes, etc. to re-purpose. I am also finding that I am looking out for more children's books with interesting illustrations--
Anyone else out there who does decoupage? I'd sure like to hear from you....

Melody...I love, love, love how your dresser turned out!!! That is beautiful!!!
I decoupage also but on much smaller scale than that. Bird Houses, small chests etc
I am so impressed by how this project you did turned out. Wow!!! You Go Girl!!!
Hugs and smiles,
Peggy

Wow, Melody! The dresser is just gorgeous! It won't be in your shop for long. I would have a difficult time parting with it!
