I did finish up a project tonight that I started weeks ago. Not sure why it took me so long! But somehow in the midst of it all I didn't take "before" or "during" shots. Well I made it to June before I broke my New Year's resolution!
Anyway, I found an oak file cabinet that had some damage to the top but it was cheap. I had used yardsticks to cover the damaged top of another piece (seen here) and decided that technique would work again.
But I wanted to do something different on the drawers. I found this dresser on Pinterest. (from Brabourne Farms)
I had to take the hardware off so I could transfer and paint.
File another project "done!"

Love it, Cyndi! What a great cabinet to use in a sewing room to hold patterns or fabrics. I just love the top ~ that is so creative and unique!
That is awesome!! Love the use of the yardsticks!
Very cute! I love it!
That's pretty--the printed words are especially nice and the yardsticks on top eye-catching.
Looks great...love it :) Laurel

Great inspiration and great interpretation! I was just saying today that I hope I come across yard sticks at some point so that I can cover something with them!
