vintage wallpaper, glamor included


re-do.....done!(well, almost)
and as always there were "challenges" along the way.
for some reason i thought this one roll of paper would cover this entire 2 wall space.
not that i measured and calculated...i just eye-balled it,  looked like plenty.

as you can see from the finished product, i had to go to plan "b" when i realized that i would not have enough.
and....actually, plan "b" turned out to be better than plan "a".
i found another roll of vintage paper that i bought at the same time and decided it was a perfect compliment.

i love this large floral print and i love, love mixing patterns!!!

problem #2....i didn't have enough of the second paper to finish the second wall!!!
un-real!!


i called my "wallpaper friend" and she found another roll of paper #2in her barn filled with wallpaper and other vinitage treasures.
i've been saved!!!
so....a successful project, almost done.




i decided to leave out the mantel and just stick with these pretty pieces.
the mirror more functional hanging vertically and the bench a perfect place to catch my clothes that i don't feel like hanging up.

happiness!!!!

xo, karla

  1. This completely cracks me up, but as usual, your little "mishaps" always seem to turn out for the better anyway. And then certainly make for good stories later. Can't wait to come see it in person!
