We found these photos of Noodylicious' great dresser in our Flickr account. (And her cool chair... and that intriguing light-window-thingamajig.)

There aren't any notes about how she turned a ho-hum white dresser into a fabulously colorful one -- contact paper? Wallpaper? Do tell, Noodylicious!

That is very cool. I have the feeling that wall paper is about to become much more prevalent in furniture design. Lining the back of a bookshelf (or in this case, the drawer fronts) can really make an impact. I've found that the use of paint and wallpaper in this way really make a piece appear more unique and expensive.

When design takes priority, the result is often strange closets.
i really like this. i want to do something similar... so please do tell!
love it...though i think it would be cooler if the pattern lined up better...
That's me! I did this on a whim yesterday morning because I was bored and moving things around in my apartment. I used giftwrap to cover the drawer fronts. I sort of wrapped them like presents, and taped the paper down on the backside. Obviously it's very temporary but that's what I wanted, so I can easily change the look whenever I want. The "dresser" (it's actually just a little drawer unit, originally intended to go with a desk) is from Ikea. It was a slightly creamy white with a fake beech trim and I painted it with a glossy white spraypaint.
thanks for the tip, Anna... i like the idea of making it temporary.
good, lord! PLEASE stop spamming your blog address every time you post, t8! you the head of the pack of a very depressing trend around here.
I love the "intriguing light-window-thingamajig," Anna! How did you do that?
I made the light/window thing from an old window that I bought for $2. I used Krylon frosted glass spray finish on the glass. I got some thick white cardboard and stapled some xmas lights onto it in a random fashion, then nailed that onto the back of the window. It was all super easy and the entire project cost me around $10. In the past I used this as a headboard, but my new apartment had this perfect built-in cubby for it. There are some more photos of it in my Flickr; here's my apartment set:

Really cool, Anna. I like the temporary idea and the fact that you can change it whenever you want.
