I had this marbled paper laying around and it worked really well with this piece.
I didn't have double-sided tape on hand so I just used regular table and rolled it (like you did back in elementary school).
I did it pretty haphazardly so I'll probably re-do it with real double sided tape in the future.. but for now it gives it a cool update. And it took all but 10 minutes!
Love! Such a quick, simple, chic update!
ReplyDeleteLooks even better now if that can be! Love the lines and that marble paper gave it a little kick!
ReplyDeleteWow! Totally inspiring. I've wanted to do something with marbled paper for a while and this is the push I needed!

I love that paper, it really works well & modernizes the piece a bit. Great job :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that piece!!
ReplyDeleteDrool-worthy! It would remind you to slow down on a daily basis and take time for the important things in life, ie. hot chocolate by the fireplace and lots and lots of hugs!
ReplyDeleteLoving the marbeled paper on the inside!
ReplyDeletethat looks amazing! and i love your application of the old school tape rolling ;)
ReplyDeleteBryn, Your secretary looks amazing!! And I am loving the paper you used!!

ReplyDeleteWow what a big change that made to the already stunning piece! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, it looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove that paper! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI love the swirly-whirliness, and how you arranged it so that you eye kind starts at the top and weaves it's way down to the bottom. Beautiful movement you created in a solid and straight-line piece of furniture.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love that paper, and the secratary is so unique and cool!
ReplyDeleteKinda trippy paper - but I love love love it! So glad you kept that piece - how could you not? Have a beautiful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI went and looked back at these pictures.... I'd like to note my walls are BLUE. it's so weird the camera captures them as beige-ish.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely.. and I'll get better shots when I move all the excess furniture out of that room!
ReplyDeletelol too funny. I just threw some things in there to see what it'd look like. It's definitely not styled ;) But thanks for the compliment!
ReplyDeleteLove this piece so glad you kept it!
ReplyDeletesuper cute! can we get a pic of it with the doors closed??
ReplyDeleteTHAT looks A-mazing! Don't you LOVE the papers available these days? I found two books at Marshall's last week for 2 bucks each. I ended up using a couple in our bedroom as temporary fillers in some HUGE frames until our artwork is ready. I LOVE them.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning Bryn!
ReplyDeletelooks good and really unique. Love how it makes it look all sophisticated now.
ReplyDeleteBreaking out a favorite word, looks amazeballs. Very well styled, and the paper looks great!

ReplyDeleteLooks great- well done!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, yes! That is a keeper!!!
ReplyDeleteQuick, easy, and beautiful transformation...just how I like them! Happy weekend, Bryn!
ReplyDeleteThe paper is beautiful and only 10 mins, love it!
ReplyDeleteLove that! I have a quick question- I want to put up wallpaper on the back of my pantry cabinets- how do I make sure it sticks since I've never used wallpaper or should I just skip wp all together and do a stencil? Thanks girl - love your blog!
ReplyDeleteYou did an AH-MA-ZING job! That paper is ridiculous. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteThat paper is stunning! I would never get rid of that piece...great job!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love that you gave it a fresh look with out the full paint job...a simple, easy for anyone to do fix. And the marbled paper? Yum!
