  5. where did you get that adorable blue contact paper for the drawers on the blue dresser? SO cute.. I'm looking for some for a piece I'm restoring and am having a hard time finding unique contact/wall paper like that. Thanks!

  6. sorry for the delayed response - the paper you are interested was a vintage paper. If you are looking for a current version that is similar, Mod Green Pod is a green company that makes non-toxic, PVC-free wallpaper and fabric. Their prints are whimsical but modern. I love them. I hope this helps. Thanks for reading PGD!
