DIY wallpaper
Sometimes I need to let things percolate for a long time. Especially in my own house: I am here all the time, and sometimes one needs to step away for perspective.
Just this morning, I was sitting in my girls' room singing wake up songs and looking absent mindedly into their bathroom, and my mind wandered to the stripes I have been planning to paint in there, and for the first time maybe ever, I thought to myself, Stripes? Stripes? I don't know.
(As an aside, we went to a dinner Friday night with three families. Out of the 6 grown ups and 6 children, only 3 people were NOT wearing stripes. My family of four had at least 5 striped items--my 3 year old likes to layer stripe on stripe.)
I would like pattern in there. I can't afford wallpaper. I already used the block-printing on a different project in their room. Trolling my own pinterest pages, I was reminded of this.
Isn't that rose wall just the cutest thing? From a designsponge sneak peek. These guys took a cell phone picture of a rose covered wallpaper at a Kate Spade store, printed it out a bunch of times, used a plain old glue stick to put them on the walls in a random pattern, and basically decoupaged over it with a diluted glue solution.
People are geniuses, I tell you. Geniuses.
(Don't hold your breath that I'm doing this any time soon. I'm just feeling inspired in the moment!)
Happy Tuesday.
