How to easily update outdated furniture with fun patterns using peel & stick wallpaper. Use this method to add a pop of color to any piece of furniture & all for a DIY price.

I have a confession to make y’all, I am a furniture hoarder. It’s true, I strongly dislike getting rid of outdated furniture because I feel like there can always be potential for an old piece. I know that’s not the Marie Kondo way, but after I update a piece it definitly sparks joy, plus my bank account is thankful for one less purchase, so win-win!

This week we are cramming in a guest bedroom refresh before the baby arrives. One of the first projects I wanted to tackle was updating an old chest of drawers & nightstand we already had. The pieces have been with me for a very long time & are just too dark for the new room I have been envisioning.

Besides that stud muffin of a pup, these pieces are not much to look at, but they are in good condition & just need a little TLC. I wanted too lighten them up & add a fun pattern to the front using some peel & stick wallpaper.

I started by sanding & painting both pieces with a leftover gray paint I had.

Next, I used this blue checkered wallpaper to add a pop of color to the front of the drawers. All I did was held it up to the length of the drawer then cut it down to size.

I gave the existing hardware an update by spray painting it gold & ta-da two updated pieces for under $10!

I am big puffy heart in love with this little transformation! It was super easy & budget friendly, exactly what this guest bedroom refresh needed.
