Cornice Before & After

I'm a little...OK a lot ashamed to tell this story!! It's horrible!! My daughter has been waiting since July for me to start on her room. She took her birthday money and bought a comforter, pillows, and accessories so I would redo her room in JULY. Oh, it's February? Where has the time gone??? This is one of those terrible mom moments!!! I FINALLY BEGAN!!! YAY!!! She was offered a new bed and we've began a redo on it (can't wait for you to see it)!! This is a cornice...a dreary boring $3.00 yard sale cornice.

I convinced her to purchase this lovely roll of wrapping paper. Can you believe this was Christmas paper....it's beautiful! We bought it half off at Hobby Lobby for $4.00. Expensive yes....but the graphic is perfect!

I took white glue spread it all over the cornice then just applied the paper. It did wrinkle in spots but, I used what I had. I don't think anyone will notice.

Here is the after!!! I can't believe how well it turned out. It looks so updated for nearly no money.....my kind of project.

I still need to rib border off, paint, rearrange furniture, finish her bed, make a bulletin board.......

Hmmm, I think I've figured out why I hadn't started before now!!! Ha ha! I'm going to get busy and hopefully share ALL the before & afters of this room!!!!
Wish me luck!!!
