Contact Paper Projects

I finally have internet again, so I thought I would give this "blog" another go!

I'm recently recovering from a Pinterest fixation on DIY and craft ideas.

This gorgeous DIY contact paper project found on www.apartmenttherapy.com

led me into my own contact paper project, transforming this:

to this: 

Not having thought the project through & jumping in head first (as usual) I started with the vertical stripes on individual drawers & then tried to do the next one to match. Needless to say, that was a stupid way to go about it & after I spent so much time on it I was quite over the thought of starting over & decided to try horizontal for the second round.  Horizontal was much easier, faster, and uniform.  Now that I have the "hang" of the contact paper I decided I was ready to do something amazing!  

I have always been a fan of patchwork & decided I needed to do a patchwork makeover on my front door.  This is the result:

Isn't it gorgeous?  What do you mean no?  You don't like the 1/2 finished look?  It took about 7-8 hours, can't remember, to finish up to this point and I haven't been able to force myself back into finishing.  Sigh, typical.
