Here's How
- Step 1: Remove any hardware and sand wardrobe lightly. Wearing a mask, spray wardrobe and drawers inside and out with primer, then finish wardrobe body, inside and out, with 1 coat of white satin spray. Let paint dry.
- Step 2: Base-coat each drawer with 2 coats of paint, using a different coordinating colour for each drawer. Let paint dry.
- Step 3: Measure areas you want to wallpaper. Here, outside of cupboard and inner doors were covered. Cut wallpaper panels to fit (matching patterns where necessary) and apply to cupboard with wallpaper paste, trimming neatly with Stanley knife. Using sponge, and working from the centre out, smooth out any air bubbles and excess glue.
- Step 4: Using mirror clips, attach mirror to inside of 1 door and secure bar light above it for a Hollywood effect. On inside of opposite door, attach self-adhesive hooks for hanging necklaces, bags and accessories.
- Step 5: If you need more hanging space in the cupboard, fit an extra curtain rod using a couple of brackets.
- Step 6: Screw on new door handles, then fill the cupboard with all those dressing-up clothes and other bits.
