"You know those storage cupboards that are usually above a closet and require a ladder to access? While they're wonderful for storing items that you don't often use, like holiday decorations or suitcases, the cabinets themselves can be a bit of an eyesore. But then again, they're so high up that I often wonder what could even be done to help them blend in."
"Initially, Rachel had Urban Outfitters' peel-and-stick wallpaper behind her bed as a sort of pseudo-headboard (unfortunately, the pattern is no longer available). However, she grew tired of the look but didn't want to waste the paper. "The wallpaper was still sticky and in good shape, so I was like, 'I don't want to waste this. What could I do with it?' And then I thought 'How about slap it on to these cabinets and add a little zest,'" Rachel remembers."
"Rachel didn't have enough of the peel-and-stick wallpaper to cover the size of both cabinets, so she thought outside the box. By using copper tape and cutting the wallpaper into a new design, she created a fresh, original pattern that fit both cabinets. All in all, Rachel estimates that the original wallpaper was around $50 for a roll, and then the tape cost her around $10. For just $60, these once all-white cabinets turned into art pieces that seemingly blend in with the rest of the room while also remaining eye-catching."
High storage cupboards above closets often become eyesores despite their usefulness for seasonal items. Rachel Thompson repurposed leftover Urban Outfitters peel-and-stick wallpaper from behind her bed to cover two dining-room cabinets. She cut the paper and used copper tape to extend and create a new coordinated pattern after discovering there wasn't enough to cover both cabinets. The project cost about $60 total ($50 wallpaper, $10 tape). The finished cabinets read like art pieces that complement the room's moody, earthy palette while remaining practical and accessible only with a ladder.
