If you have seen pictures of my art room in the past, you know I have a big, very red, tool chest. I love all the drawers and storage space but I was never enamoured with the color. Nothing says garage like a rolling red tool chest. Yesterday afternoon I did a quick little fix-up and covered the fronts with wallpaper. The room is painted yellow and red and yellow is a Country French combination, right? Play along with me on this please.
I just used regular wallpaper paste so it would be removable if I change my mind so I wasn't sure it would even stick on the powder-coated surface. I got up this morning and it hadn't popped off so I think I'm good to go. I would still like to cover up those "Husky" logos. Does any girl really dig the word Husky in her girl cave, let me ask you?? The logos are dimensional so I haven't quite figured out what to do about them. I am open to suggestions!
I hope you are all having a safe and happy Fourth of July!

I was trying to think of a way to change 'Husky' into another word by adding a letter like 'Phusky' or 'Jhuskey' but none of the combinations made actual words (assuming that's important). Clever use of the wallpaper!
That is definitely a girly tool chest now and I love it! I wouldn't have thought of wallpaper. I'm drawing a blank for the logos but I'll be interested to see what you come up with!
Would a magnet work over the Husky name? Same size and covered in the cute wallpaper? Or a strip of vintage bling glued over that area? Fun project and you did a great job on it.
Great solution and great storage!
have a great week :D

Usually the emblem is just held on with some kind of adhesive - if you take a heat gun to it (carefully, so as not to blister the paint) the emblem should peel off.
