Mushroom Magic
Channel your inner Thoreau with these woodland-inspired home decor projects. Project designer Matthew Mead offers 11 ideas hand-picked from the great outdoors (plus free patterns for every project)! Mother Nature will be proud.

Transform a secondhand dresser into a woodland wonder with a couple of coats of paint and our curvy-cool mushroom stencil. Here's how: First, sand and prime an old dresser. Then, paint a base coat of silvery blue latex paint. Allow the dresser to dry. Download and print several copies of designer Matthew Mead's mushroom pattern. Experiment with several sizes that will fit your drawer fronts. Print the mushroom stencils on contact paper, then cut out.

Carefully arrange the mushrooms in your desired pattern on the drawer fronts. With the stencils in place, give the entire dresser a coat of bright green paint. When the paint is dry, carefully peel off the mushroom stencils.
