being Mrs. Perez: Do-Over!!!! Converting an old dresser to a new buffet station

A few weeks ago my in-laws moved back to FL - they left two dressers in their old room - I knew not to get rid of them, considering we would eventually use them and especially considering we have minimal storage space in our home. Not to mention how I love to Pinterest my ass off, I knew I would be DIY'ing in no time at all.

So....I was getting a little tired of our bakers rack in the kitchen...my husband had it prior to me moving in, so we kept it; and considering I replaced almost all his furniture with mine I figured I'd let him keep the piece.....for now!!

The water bottles stacked on the bottom rack were exposed; and there is nothing that irks me more than to see a mess, even if it was organized chaos....then it a light bulb went on in my head the old dresser!!!

Off to Michael's I went with a 40% off coupon (my husband stood on one line with one coupon and one item and I stood in another (hey 40% off any one item is def worth doubling the line).... I Purchased 2 long posters of wine bottles and one bottle of Mod Podge. My husband had an old poster he never unwrapped so I used that as well....here we go:

Old Dresser (still in great condition)

My husband's old poster that he never had framed, scissors, ruler, blade and Mod Podge

To Mod Podge, measure and using a razor blade cut pieces to be Mod Podge'd on each drawer, this is very tricky especially with this type of dresser which had raised outlines. Lightly brush the back of each piece with Mod Podge glue and set on surface. Lightly with fingers and a credit card press/brush to get air bubbles out....continue with each drawer. Let set for about 2 hours, then using a foam brush Mod Podge again (same glue...don't worry it dries clear) to get a clear gloss protective coating

This was the trickiest .... I printed "Wine...is bottled poetry" on Waterslide Decal Paper then used Acrylic Gloss Sealer and let dry for a few hours. Next you cut (be precise) and place sheet in water (I used a baking dish big enough to fit the piece). Let sit for about 30 sec to 1 min, then place on surface, pull the backing, set and go over with a wet cloth to get air bubbles out. Let dry over night.

AND THS IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT - OUR NEW BUFFET - WATER BOTTLES ARE NOW IN THE BOTTOM DRAWER AND CANNOT BE SEEN! THANK GOD!
