Next week we have some very exciting visitors coming to Beach Vintage so things that have needed doing are getting done around the place. Including the front doors of the kitchen pantry. Some of you may recall the previous covers were patchworks of vintage wallpaper samples. After 2 years they were looking a little worn out.
Yesterday was time to jazz them up a little with some oilcloth. I used this design. Simply cut roughly to size, smear some white craft glue quite generously all over the front panel of the doors and smooth down with an oven glove. Leave to dry for a few hours and trim with a ruler and stanley knife. ( No they are not my hands but, alas, my husband is now even involved poor bugger).
I also completed something similar in the bathroom a few years back and it's still looking great.
Have a great weekend everyone.

ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful. I love oilcloth. I may have to do that to my lake house bathroom sink doors. What a cute idea. When I was a kid, we used to cover our school books with oil cloth.
ReplyDeletelove what you have done here! i think i need to try something similar in my girl's bathroom :)

ReplyDeletewow- just popped over from someone else's blog (can't remember who, I got lost in the journey!) and really pleased I did as I've been wanting to cover some doors for ages but wallpaper wouldn't be tough enough, and for some reason I never thought of oilcloth!
