a question

[roxxierae.livejournal.com]

I just got some atrocious furniture....big heavy dark oak affairs... a queen bed, a dresser, etc.

i want to do a decoupage project on it, the surface of the wood is varnished so it's slick and shiny, can anyone give me any suggestions? i've seen it done with just a mixture of elmers white glue and newsprint...i was thinking about using pictures of flowers torn out of magazines....

(by the way, if anyone has a big stack of magazines that they really want to get rid of i will trade a hand knit scarf.)

Any help you ladies can offer me will be greatly appreciated. i've got to do something with this shit because it's just too austere.

Thanks!!!
