Do you ever have a little project that takes just minutes to accomplish but you just put it off for like oh, let's say a year because you just don't want to do it??? Well, this little 5 minute project was just that. I have had my white cupboard for years and it came with green paint on the inside, I enjoyed the green and really did not want to paint over it, ( just yet!) but I was ready for a change. I have seen people take vintage sheet music and line cupboards with them, I have had a ton of sheet music that was my grandmothers, I had the notion to line the backs of my shelves in this cupboard for years. It wasn't until I moved this cupboard back out into my breakfast nook a few weeks ago that the green really stood out against all of my white decor. Then I went to the coolest barn sale and acquired all of this ironstone for pennies, as soon as I saw it I knew it would go into that cupboard. After living with it for a few days I realized that I wanted to try displaying the collection against a lighter background, but lazy me did not want to paint. So I finally decided to get out a roll of packaging tape, my sheet music and go to town. Five minutes later I had the look I was going for! Why did I wait so long??? And it is only a temporary fix, if I don't like it I can just pull it down. Easy as that! It definately fits into my all white/creamyish scheme and reminds me of my family's love for music at the same time. I am a sentimental person if you have not already figured that out about me, I love to surround my family with mementos from our past by displaying them in our home, I believe it keeps sweet memories alive.

This is so pretty. I really love how sheet music and old book pages are working their way into decorating ideas!
Hi Leslie! What an adorable idea! I love the music sheets behind that white ironstone! It really looks French-inspired! Very pretty!
