A Toilet Paper Cupboard

Hubba Lubbs has been harpin' at me to get something in the bathroom to nicely store the toilet paper, since we took out the cute little cart that was in there.  I'm not sure why we took it out, except Sargeant Hayes (aka my mother) said it didn't belong in there.  So out it went.  Sometimes it's best to listen to her.  Sometimes we just ignore her.  Anyways, I've finally got something cute for the toilet paper!!  Want to see what it looked like before and how I made it a little cuter?  Though you might, have a look see:
Picked this up at a garage sale a long time ago, and it's been sitting in my barn.  I remember haggling with the friendly older man for a better price, and I think he gave it to me for $3.  Can't remember exactly!
The side looked too plain and boring and none of my stencils were jumping out at me.  Then a light  bulb switched on in my little brain and I remembered I'd picked up some plain white wallpaper border for 50 cents not long ago in a thrift shop. It worked PERFECT for the sides!!!  Just had to trim a wee little bit off each side to make it fit in perfect.  So easy, too!
