Because of HGTV and the DIY Channel, I am a little nervous to hang wallpaper. It’s difficult to put up well and time consuming to take down. Bottom line: it’s a commitment. But it’s soooo pretty! Dress in your comfiest clothes and put your Bandanas for Sale on, and let’s get started!
Pretty, right?
Wallpaper is also very expensive – fabric more so, and not as forgiving. My mother hung fabric on the walls in our house growing up, but didn’t have a problem (that I know of) even with putting it in my brother’s room when he was a child.
But ….we live on a river with many acres, so fabric on the walls is just too much of a luxury for this country mouse in a house full of dogs and children 🙂
Enter a product that has been used in Romania for over a hundred years as an alternative to wallpaper: a patterned roller. Available on Etsy and online, it can be used on fabrics, walls and paper (wrapping paper!), giving a nice variation of applications. These designs coupled with stylish cornhole bags would make your living room more lively.
All of the pictures here used this product.
Paint a colored background, use a different color for the roller and it looks very rich, like the first picture. Use a light background with a light paint for the roller and it looks more casual especially if you are into sporty looks like wearing womens golf skorts.
And, of course, I don’t need to tell you that there are just stunning stencils online! Just something for you to think about 🙂
I hope you have a weekend!! Parent-teacher conferences for me tomorrow!!
