So, i took on the worlds largest decoupaging project (OKay maybe not the worlds largest...but the largest project in *my* world) This wall of book cases is 16' long and appox 7' tall. I decoupaged every square inch (with a some help from my friend Brenda, thanks goodness for her) the decoupage alone took 60+ hours and about a gallon and a half of matte finish modge podge, 3 dictionaries, a thesaurus, a poetry book, a shorthand text book , some sheet music and a few chinese fortunes to finish it off... After the glue set my husband and i stained the bookcases and brenda helped me stain the shelves....followed by a couple coats of sealer.....wholy cow that was a long process. I wore the skin off my middle finger of my left hand with my paint brush.(not the best finger to show off injuries on!)
any whoo after all is said and done the shelves look great filled with fab albums waiting to be filled with memories.
Beautiful! What did you use to stain it?

you could do the walls...i would recomend using a brayer, not a paint brush like i did to get the air bubbles out.
