With a lick of Resene FX Metallic Gold Dust and three wallpapers from the Resene Wallpaper Collection, these old shelves have gone from plain and boring to bold and beautiful. Create this look by measuring each shelf section and cutting the wallpaper to fit. Apply wallpaper glue to the wallpaper and paste to the shelves. We’ve used three different designs to create interest: 378003 (top), 378022 (middle) and 378031 (bottom), all available from Resene ColorShops. The wall is painted in Resene Putty, the peg stool is painted in Resene Teak, the large pot is painted in Resene Castaway and the blue pot is painted in Resene Coast.
