Hand-me-down cabinet gets makeover with colorful wrapping paper
A friend of mine gave me this old bathroom cabinet and although I liked and needed the storage, it just wasn't right for me. I didn't let it go to waste though! I used colorful wrapping paper and Mod Podge to give it new life.

I love this!!!! Thanks so much for sharing. What type of modge-podge were you using? Modge-podge comes in different finishes (flat, glossy, satin, etc.) Whatever you used, it looks great! Happy
