Wild Thing...

I am so excited to share this latest addition to the Tween Room with you! I had so  much fun doing it.
Although I could not help imaginig someone shopping at Goodwill a few years from now, going, "What the heck was this person thinking?" 
LOL! Just kidding. This one has many more makovers left in her before she ends up at Goodwill....

In the sixteen years since I bought her as a raw pine corner cabinet, she has changed from Lilac, to dark brown stain, to white.
Now she was ready for something really different. 

Of course, the first thing that went on, was the zebra stripes on the sides.
 ...and the black stripes around the doors.
I put pink stripes with the black, and added some of the same wrapping paper that I used on the desk, with Modge Podge.

{Edited in after: LMBO....just saw now for the first time...Hubby in the background with just a towel around his waist! Luckily it was the big towel. ;-)  }



Added dots for the inside of the top, and a smaller zebra stencil for the top front.
Wild enough for you?......

 A wild look for a wild child...
 The room is done and will be revealed shortly.

Have a wonderful Saturday!

  9. Lucky girl! How fun. Love the black and pink and I thought it was so fun to hear how many colorful chapters this piece has had. I hope you have pics of all of them.

    Thanks for visiting my now very tame bedroom after it's life as a Waverly Crack Addict.

  12. I could NEVER imagine that in a GW store, or less a Sal Army! You'd give the workers quite something to converse over.
    Wild and crazy and wonderful.
