Happy Wednesday Friends! Last post, I promised that we would be addressing my purple armoire. With my recent guest room revamp, I considered repainting her....and then I reconsidered. After all of my editing, the other dark colors were gone, allowing the plum to pop in an oh so pleasing way! Since I still had some toile left from my $1 curtain panel, I decided to show Miss Plum some love. Time to get toiled up, Miss P!
I started by using some wrapping paper to make a pattern of the door insert I wanted to cover. You can see it already has green trim, perfect!
Next, I cut the fabric from the pattern.
Then I used a sponge brush to apply Mod Podge. I applied enough to make sure the fabric would adhere but not so much that it would soak through.
Finally, I pressed the toile in place. This weight of fabric is easy to reposition if needed.
Here's Miss Plum all decked out in her toile dress!
The toile gives my whimsical plum armoire a touch of elegance--I am loving the combination! Have you dressed up any older pieces of furniture at your house lately? Do tell!
