Decoupage

I designed our guest bedroom around a pirate/beach theme. Yup, it has a small treasure chest, a message in a bottle, beach and water related accessories and the color of the room is in two tone blues.

We had a small, white table that functions as a nightstand, but it just did not look right in that room. In one of the DIY shows on TV, they showed how to decoupage a chest of drawers. Wait..., that is a great solution for that little stand.

We found a gorgeous old map and using the decoupage technique covered the top. To protect the map from getting all torn up due to wear and tear, I coated it with Polyurethane. Now, it fits perfectly and is a piece of conversation.
