I have the cutest project to share with you. This Dr. Seuss Decoupage Chair is perfect for celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday on March 2. I chose to copy pages from my Cat in the Hat book, which probably isn’t my favorite book. I think I love One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish the best! I’m sharing the good the bad and the ugly of this almost gone wrong decoupage chair project.

I don’t have a desk, but even so, I decided I must have a wooden desk plaque with my logo on it after I saw the cool gift Kim Six made for Wendi at H2O Bungalow! Kim is so clever and creative—I love knocking off her projects. I’ll show you my inspiration from Kim…
