The best way to adhere it to the drawer fronts is to make sure there is NO shine on the drawer fronts at all. Scuff it up with sandpaper and prime it if possible with primer not paint. Use Modge Podge to stick it to the drawer after that. The cut edge is best made by waiting to the paper is dry and run a utility knife edge along the paper at the edge of the drawer. Better to wait until it is dry so that you're not pulling the wet paper. As far as all the pieces you have, choose select pieces to put the paper touches on and keep the rest just painted. Night Stands would be good for papering and the dresser perhaps. I wouldn't do much more than that. Good luck with your project!Recaptured Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591703154384503632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504467275311897269.post-30200941413307638972013-06-10T15:49:25.057-04:002013-06-10T15:49:25.057-04:00Hi Liz

How did you adhere the wallpaper to the wood and how do you disguise the cut edge? Also, if I have 2 night stands, a headboard, huge dresser like this one and a chest of drawers, any ideas so that they blend but are not too matchy matchy?<br />LizethAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504467275311897269.post-12471507114094608752013-05-17T10:03:22.893-04:002013-05-17T10:03:22.893-04:00Hi Caroline

Another coat or two and it would have been completely black, but I was satisfied with the dark brown. It's actually what I wanted for the piece. I didn't want a brown stain that had any red in it, so I chose the black and wiped it really well to get the very dark brown.<br />Thanks<br />LisaRecaptured Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10591703154384503632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2504467275311897269.post-17060871167657474512013-05-17T09:58:38.915-04:002013-05-17T09:58:38.915-04:00Just wondering about the stain used on the top...M...Just wondering about the stain used on the top...Minwax Black?

The piece absolutely had to be sanded as it was quite shiny. I sanded it just enough to take the shine off it and because I took all the shine off, then wiped it down really well (to remove dust) I didn't need to prime it. I used 2 coats of paint. The top of course was sanded all the way down to bare wood.
