DIY Dressing Table Decoration and Brush Holders

Hi guys! So a few weeks ago I decided I was going to decorate my room, I began to look on pinterest etc. but I am unable to decorate until next month, I will make sure to do a blog post about it. However, I was in the mood to get decorative and creative so decided to beautify my dressing table. Unfortunately I am unable to tell you exactly where my dressing table is from as I bought it from eBay about a year ago but it's looked a bit worn and the paint was fading in areas. (Please excuse the mess underneath my dressing table.)

 

I decided rather than simply repainting it I would try something slightly different, this wasn't actually inspired from anywhere. I purchased a very inexpensive roll of patterned sticky back plastic from eBay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161192476034?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) there are hundreds to choose from if you don't like mine!

If you are going to do this 'DIY', make sure to clean the surface you are covering very well. I decided to cover the top of the table and the front of the drawers and I love the way it looks!

As I had some of the roll left I decided to cover some glass jars for my brushes, I simply surrounded the jars with the sticky back plastic and then stuck plain white labels and wrote 'eyes' and 'face'.

I hope you guys like this and maybe can recreate your own version of this 'DIY', it's so easy but makes such a nice difference to you room, thanks for reading.
