I have to say…this little Friday thing has me working on things I have been meaning to do for awhile now.
I have been wanting to take my cabinet (that I keep my china and some of my ironstone) and put vintage sheet music along the back.
Once again I had no rhyme or reason and just started applying the sheets (surprise, surprise).
I used my Xryon machine and the re-positionable cartridge because I am a girl that can change my mind.
You could also use Modge Podge or any other adhesive you are comfortable with.
I cut different sizes of the vintage sheet music and started applying them until the whole back of the cabinet was covered.
It only took about an hour and I love how it turned out.
I am already SUPER excited about my project for next Friday!!!
This next project will take a little more time and effort.
I think I can do it in a day…which means I will be working on it all week:-)
Anyone else ever UNDERESTIMATE project times??
I am super excited about finding your blog! I saw your comment on Lissa’s blog. Sister, just love your style and heart. Will be checking in…
What a super idea!! It turned out looking great!!
MAJOR underestimator here…ugh 🙂
Your cabinet is adorable!
It looks great! Very creative!
It looks fantastic Jeanne! I love that cabinet! It turned out so nice. I bet it feels good to get stuff done 🙂
pretty!
Owning a fixer upper was a constant reminder that I always underestimate how long projects will take.
I can’t wait to see next weeks project.
Wow, looks so great! Of course…
It’s gorgeous! I’ve been wanting to do that too and it never occurred to me to use my xryon machine. You are a smarty pants girl!
What a great idea, it looks fantastic!
So cute — love it!
Janet
I love it…the cabinet looks lovely! And the ironstone {drool}; wow, what a collection:)
You are a girl after my own heart! I swear I would wallpaper almost anything in vintage sheet music;)
Please! Is there anyone who hasn’t underestimated a “quick” little change at one time of another? And have you ever gotten yourself into something that mushroomed to the point of wishing you had never started? I can’t even count the times. 🙂 Your cabinet turned out great. Well worth the time and effort… so smart to make it “changeable.” Being a capricious sort myself, it’s the only way to go.
love the cabinet ~ looks great!
Just finished my kids’ bathroom. Thought it would take 2 weeks, it took me 2 months!!
Looks amazing! Happy weekend!
Smiles,

J: This is great! I always love the contrast of the off-white sheet music with black and it is even more wonderful with your white pieces.
Isn’t it great to finish a project??? Hope your Friday is great and your weekend, too!

I am loving Facelift Fridays! The sheet music looks great! And what a beautiful collection! I used to underestimate, but I have come to learn with children underfoot, everything takes ten times longer than it should:)

That really looks great!
Wow,love to eat with this kind of plate looks awesome.
I love what you did with the cabinet. I must borrow the idea for a couple pieces I own. I found your blog in the Artful Blogging Magazine. I so want to *learn* to set up a blog and keep it updated. So glad I found you.
ALL THE TIME! Great idea for your cabinet, super outcome.
Fantastic project…it turned out great! I also have been wanting to do this with a cabinet of ours, you have inspired me!
Smiles, Karen
The sign of a good project is being able to get “lost” in it…time stands still! Love the sheet music!
Love it, love it! I have so much sheet music left over from my singing days–what a great way to incorporate some memories 😉
You are such a crafty girl–thanks for sharing your gifts with the rest of us.

I love how it turned out! It was a cool piece before, but the sheet music just adds to it.
Hello sweet Jeanne – lovin’ your FAB cabinet! It was darling before, but adding the vintage sheet music give it so much more character. Beautiful job! Love all your white dishes in there. Gives me some inspiration for my hutch.
Blessings,
Marie
Oh my! this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!
