Tear Away Wallpaper

I have a lot of experience ripping wall paper down and putting new from my childhood. My mom was known for her wallpaper expertise in her circle of friends and so anytime she had a wallpaper job I was her assistant. Now, as an adult, I am usually turned off by wallpaper. It's usually just too much for a room. And the patterns can feel old and dated so quickly after they are put up. That is why I usually just stick to paint.

But this this tear away wall paper by znak is opening my eyes to the possibilities and future of wallpaper. Wall paper can be expressive, creative, organic. It can change over time. I like all of these things. It's more of a collaboration between the designer and the home owner.

What are your thoughts on wallpaper?

DIY Paper Flower Bouquet

I made these flowers from this tutorial with Jeffery Rudell. Go check it out because it is surprisingly easy and relaxing. I made this bouquet to greet me when I first come in the front door. It adds nice color and personality to my entry way and the best part is it NEVER dies! The paper I used was mostly from paper sample books and junk mail. I happy with the patterns and colors I was able to find and mishmash together.
