Transform a lackluster storage unit into a piece that's blooming with pattern and color by lining some of the interior spaces with wallpaper. All you need are three or four papers that share a color scheme; we chose botanical prints for a springtime feel. Cut the paper to fit the interior of each recess, including all four sides. Then, using wallpaper paste or a decoupage glue such as Mod Podge, adhere the paper to the inside of the cubby. Work your way out to the sides, smoothing out air bubbles with
a flat edge. Let dry, and use the cheerful nooks to highlight tableware, photos, and other finds.
