Updating an old bookshelf

I went shopping yesterday and ran into Anthropologie. Well, they had the wallpaper I love for 50% off!!! I grabbed it as fast as I could and ran home to figure out what I could wallpaper. I think it is going to turn out to be everything cause there is a lot of paper in this roll!

Here is my first project! It was really quick and easy but i think it really helped the bookshelf I was going to get rid of this week.

Bookshelf - Target from a couple of years ago
wallpaper - anthropologie
spray adhesive - 3m Super 77

I took pictures of the whole process. It cost about 10 for the 3M adhesive. Then the wallpaper was $50 dollars. The rest I had laying around.

I unscrewed the back of the shelves so I could add the wallpaper in two parts

I measured the boards to cut the wallpaper to size

I made sure to label the wallpaper when cutting everything to make sure the pattern was flowing the correct direction.

To make sure there were no bubbles I laid the wallpaper in sections. (It also helped for keeping it straight. The glue is like spray paint and dries really quick.

I then trimmed the edges off and screwed the panels back into the shelf system

And the finished product!

So, I have to share this home.  There was a post over at Bijou and Boheme about an interior designer Katie Leeds and I was looking at her portfolio and she is nothing short of awesome! I love her style!

i love you, curtains

isnt this a great pairing of chairs

i love that plant in the corner but i am not sure about that tiny chair.

i really like those reading lamps

more curtain love and great white chair

oh this wallpaper is so good and i love the welting around the corners.

this is like a hotel but better cause it is someones backyard. i really hope those are oranges growing back there and not flowers.

Wallpapering my endtables!!

there are so many wallpaper choices and since i need such a small amount, I can spend a bit more money. I have been digging this anthropologie wall paper for a while now. It is $150 a roll.

I really love this wallpaper company from NY, Cavern Home. They are very architectural and unique. Here are some of my favorites. I need to make sure that my pattern is small though cause the space is small and i want everyone to be able to see the repeat. this may be a bit large for my tables, but I love the colors and the pattern.

If you like wallpaper I really suggest looking through Julia Ziegler Haynes wallpaper on Cavern Home in the designer series. She has such great stuff.

i am really into florals this season of course. There is an overload of them from clothes to home accessories. this paper is from Graham and Brown and only $25 a roll. I like the gold color but I think there may be too much white for my tables. But at that price, I could change them every year!

This is a great color, the repeat* is still really large though and I am looking for something with a smaller design.

*repeat- the vertical distance between one point on the pattern to the identical point vertically
