Paper Patchwork



Just finished decorating an Ikea chest of drawers which I bought years ago when pregnant with Ooma and it has been home to all of her clothes ever since. For her new bedroom I wanted to turn it into a key furniture piece, so I got to grips with a pot of black satin paint and some beautiful printed paper that I found at decopatch and whilst shopping when we were in holiday in Cornwall. The result is a kind of patchwork of floral and graphic motifs, in fresh, young colours with a kind of chinese feel due to the black lacquer effect of the very adult black paint (quite daring for a 3 year old's bedroom)!
