How to wallpaper with paste

October 15, 2022

It’s incredible how wallpaper can change a space. I think of it as large-scale art. I don’t think I’ve ever done a post on how to wallpaper with paste, so let’s do it! It’s a bit trickier than peel and stick, but it lasts longer and sometimes that’s the only option. This week I wallpapered… Read More How to wallpaper with paste

Faux wood beam with a roll of contact paper

Last weekend I used a $15 roll of contact paper to make this ledge look like a wood beam! It was an easy, cheap project with a big impact. And the great part is that it’s super easy to peel it right off if I want a change. I took down all my decor here… Read More Faux wood beam with contact paper

How to wallpaper with peel and stick paper - Pink heron mural

Need a blank wall solution? How about wallpaper? I’m so excited about this dramatic heron mural I just put up in my living room! I’ve painted this wall black, then back to white, but it always felt a bit bland. Well not any more. I’m apparently addicted to wallpaper. This is my sixth or seventh… Read More How to apply peel and stick wallpaper

Organize cleaning products - vacuum, swiffer, spray bottles, buffalo check wallpaper, cleaner, closet, cabinet

A couple weeks ago I turned a tiny closet holding little more than a broom into my cleaning closet! I added some buffalo check wallpaper and acrylic shelves to make it pretty and functional — the best kind of combo. One day I was tired of the vacuum being in the way in the laundry… Read More Cleaning closet wallpaper makeover

January 30, 2020
Dramatic vintage flower bouquet with black background painting wallpaper mural

When I think of traditional wallpaper, I think of small repeated prints, over and over. Sometimes that’s pretty, but the nice thing about murals is the huge statement they make. It’s like a giant piece of art for a fraction of the cost. The one I’m considering buying on this list is only $59 for… Read More 9 affordable wallpaper murals, starting at $55!

Sage playroom with tropical mural

January 16, 2020

Like the rest of our house, the playroom was a blank, white space in need of a little life. I found this beautiful palm jungle mural ($85) and had to have it! It mimics the landscaping outside the window in our yard and I love the sage, gray and coral tones. Then as it usually… Read More Sage playroom with tropical mural

Green garden mural with flowers and birds in little girl's room-accent wall - havenview mural - anthropologie

My mom says you can do anything with four blank walls, and this room is proof she is absolutely right! Clara’s room is fairly small with no architectural detail or high ceilings, but with a vibrant framed mural it’s stunning! I asked her if she’d switch me rooms and she said no. I’ll show you… Read More Framed green garden mural in girl’s room
