wallpaper!

Hey ho! It was a very good day when we finally put up the wallpaper I got from Anthropologie. It was on sale from 159.99 to 32.99 a roll!!! I bought 2 for our bedroom and this is the process.

this is what happens when you give a 7-year old the camera.

Did it on the widest wall in the room.

Sparky joined us by just sitting there while bf and I did all the hard work. It was ok.

1. We cut the strips into the height we need.
2. Dip the strip into a bathtub half filled with warm water to activate the adhesive on the other side of the wallpaper.
3. He paste the top part on the ladder and I made sure the side aligns on the left and the bottom rolls down smoothly.
4. Smooth the paper down. Make sure we remove the air bubbles.
5. Press hard to make sure the wallpaper folds with the bottom edge of the molding.
6. Let it dry (no problem in desert weather).
7. Trim off the top and bottom for nice straight edges.
8. Use leftovers to patch any weird gaps.

Not that bad!!! If you're going to do it, buying pre-pasted wallpaper is the way to go. I cannot imagine dealing with any glue. Will be so messy.

The wallpaper made our room look much wider and cooler. Sayaka says the design looks pretty Asian-inspired, which is something I never thought of.

Yay!!!
