I love thinking of new ways to give makeovers to old furniture. Painting is usually the first step in the process, but often a plain piece really needs something extra to make it unique and memorable. I was first introduced to decoupage over a year ago and since then it has enabled me to do some pretty awesome projects! Personally I always use Mod Podge but I know there are other methods, some of which my friends have used in their makeovers below. Whether you want to add a small detail to a drawer front, add a surprise inside the drawers, or make a big impact all over, I’ve gathered 16 creative ways to decoupage furniture. I hope you’re inspired to try it too!

Very creative ideas, especially like the French themed ones and anything with music, is just my cup of tea. Makes me want to get started on those tables I’ve been eyeing for awhile.
