Until today there weren’t that many creative uses for tablecloths. Sure, you could cover your table with a tablecloth. I’ve seen curtains and pillows and tree-skirts made with tablecloths. But isn’t that essentially putting fabric where you would expect to find fabric? Ho-to-the-hum. Tablecloths can do more!
How much more? How about covering an entire dresser? Now you are picturing just throwing a tablecloth over a dresser. No. That’s typical tablecloth thinking! What I’m talking about is this:
Oh yeah. That’s an IKEA dresser covered in a Target tablecloth. Let’s get a closer look …
Isn’t it fabulous? Look at all that delicious texture. Visit Kris at Driven by Décor to get the full run-down on how she created this awesome look.

December 5, 2013 at 4:03 PMContextually speaking–hey! I’m tryin’ to make a pun here!–this is FABULOUS! I had never even considered applying a fabric to cover an already-wonderful piece! I will NOW, though! Thanks to you for your wonderful instructions, Kris! And thanks to you, Lindsey, for bringing this to our attention!
