Jadin's New old dresser

This dresser has seen many years.  I remember my parents bought it for me when I was about 11.  It was a light pine and my Mom lovingly stenciled cats and hearts on it.  We toted it around since then and when we moved into our house I decided it was time to re-vamp it for Jadin's room.  I added molding to the fronts of the drawers for depth and to make it look a little more expensive and I added wainscoat and molding to both sides.  I painted it gloss white and added white wooden knobs to make it look a little chunky.  It turned out really cute.  

That was 4 years ago and Jadin's not 7 anymore.  Wahhhhhh!  Moving on.  She's 11 1/2 and is ready for a little bit more of a grown-up tween look in her room.  We're toying with turquoise and green.  I decided to re-decorate one element at a time and tackled her dresser first.  After thinking through several options I decided to incorporate Jadin's absolute favorite cartoon characters, Calvin and Hobbes.  I scanned some of her favorite cartoon strips and used Photoshop to put them onto a notebook paper texture.  I added some cute little sayings in pinks, greens and turquoise to make it look as if Jadin had made her own commentary with a sharpie on her dresser.  Then I printed the doctored cartoons out in 4" strips and decoupaged them in the empty space of the molding.  We found some really great black matte metal oblong knobs on ebay and voila.....brand spanking new, old dresser!
