Mellow Yellow's Mini-Makeover & Reveal
I posted last week about the yellow Ikea HEMNES Linen Cabinet that we purchased and could not wait to put together, and now it's time for the big reveal.
It came is two boxes with three full bags of hardware and a huge book of instructions. Yikes! I usually love putting things together, but I'm not gonna lie, this was pretty daunting.
Luckily, Dave took the reigns and did all the construction.
One thing I was not bargaining for, was the circus tent striped yellow drawers and back of the dresser. So I bought some cute green and white floral contact paper/shelf liner from the Home Depot and am really happy with the results.

Jenelle: I know, right? My first idea was the get cute wallpaper, but most place don't let you purchase just one role, so I found some cute contact paper to do the trick.
"C": I got the bird prints about a year ago from art.com, artist "Swan Papel" if you want to do a search. I got 4, two birds and two florals.
holy cow, i am SO SO SO impressed with your skills! it looks amazing in its new space with the MUCH better paper you put in the drawers and as the backdrop. kudos to you and your hubby for a job well done!
It looks awesome! Very cool, congrats!
So very cute! I want one! I, too, did not know that there was such cute contact paper out there!

What a simple but BIG improvement! I love it, and I love that it's a sunny yellow.
Ooh, I just love things behind cabinets and in drawers-it really cuts down the the dusting:) And what an improvement with the new contact paper. Oh, and BTW, if you would like a real-life cockatiel to complete your bird room, just let me know.
