<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>do I love lining drawers with wallpaper?</b></span><br>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"> For me there are two very good reasons. #1, wallpaper has great durability for drawer bottoms #2 it is a wonderful surprise to see inside each time you open a drawer.</span><br>

Normally friends and family might get to see the results first but these days the only audience available to share with is on-line. #stayhome </span><br>
