I can cross one project off the list - hang wallpaper in the study. I worked on it over the weekend. I started at 8pm after Robert had gone to sleep and finished it at 1am. 5 hours.
Although I think I could have finished it earlier if I hadn't been distracted by the contents of the refrigerator.
This room also stores a lot of Robert's toys and there is this bookcase on the other side of the room. I have a few ideas for this space which I will keep you updated on as it is by no means finished.
What do you think of the pattern? I was a little nervous at first but I'm really happy it and in the mornings, the sun catches the gold outlines of the flowers and really brings it to life. I wish I could capture it in photos to show you.
Would you be interested in a little step-by-step of the hanging process?
P.S. If you would like to see a before photo of the room please see here.
It's gorgeous! And I can't believe you did it yourself. Great job.
ReplyDeleteIT'S GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteViv this room is fabulous, and wallpaper gorgeous. I would like to have a studio like this.
ReplyDeleteSeamless! fabulous job!
ReplyDeletethat looks... breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Even though the pattern is bold it isn't overwhelming because of the subtle colours.
ReplyDeleteThis wallpaper is gorgeous! Oooo I'd love to work in a room like that!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this wallpaper, so pretty, great job!
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely! A step by step would be fab. I'm thinking of undertaking some wallpapering in the near future too, and a girl can never have too much help!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!! Congratulations, I've always been sort of scared of hanging wall paper myself, I might give it a try soon :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! where do you buy your wallpaper? I live in New York and have no clue where to buy chic and modern wallpaper, can you help with that? I'd love a post on the step-by-step hanging process!
ReplyDeleteI, of course LOVE IT Viv!!
ReplyDeleteViv, the wallpaper is beautiful! I've had an image of this paper in my inspiration folder for ages. I can't wait to see the finished room!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell us what wall paper you have chosen?? I'm keen to get a roll to use to back a large entertainment unit.
ReplyDeletethanks
Oh it's stunning! What a lovely room, so calm and pretty... you did a fabulous job!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! I have been thinking about doing something similar in the new apartment we will be moving into. The landlords had a HORRIBLE mural painted on the walls and we got them to agree to wallpaper over it so they could one day take down the wallpaper if we moved out! I cannot take blood red walls behind my bed or in front of my desk! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThe pattern is wonderful! I'd love for you to share your application technique - it looks seamless and perfect! It would take me ages longer to complete.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, how inspiring that you did it yourself! I would LOVE to see a step-by-step. I am a little scared that I would mess it up if I tried to hang wallpaper myself. Is it easy to get the seams... um, seamless I guess is the word I'm looking for??
ReplyDeleteOr maybe VWL is the phrase I am looking for - visible wallpaper line.
ReplyDeleteSorry I couldn't resist, I giggled when I thought of it!!!
Wow, the new wallpaper looks great! Can't believe you started at 8pm. I tend to collapse when my little one goes to bed, so I have huge admiration for your effort.
ReplyDeleteLove to see a step by step hanging process too.
YEs! Tutorial please. I love that wallpaper - I can't believe how wonderful it looks!
ReplyDeletewow, well done! I'd love to see a step by step!
ReplyDeleteViv, it's gorgeous in the extreme. I've been trying to convince Mr that wallpaper is a great idea and your photos may have got me over the line.
ReplyDeleteYes, I hear you. I just finished doing mine in the new shop. My arms hurt the next day I can tell you! Thanks so much for your kind words on my blog. Hugs. Simone xx
ReplyDeletePlease include a step-by-step! You've done a lovely job, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful Viv! Well done.
ReplyDeleteYes I would be interested! I have always been intimidated by the idea of hanging wallpaper, but you made it look too easy. Great job!
ReplyDeleteMind if I ask where you got that desk? I'm looking for something exactly like that to go in my office, but I haven't had much luck.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely! What a great job you have done! Jx
ReplyDeleteIt looks great- very serene:)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I love the wallpaper and how you did it just as one wall so it's not overwhelming the entire room. And I love your chandelier in the office. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Viv did you do that all by yourself? Just curious as the two times I have done it, I have had either my husby or my sister help(or maybe it was me helping them!!!) Looks fab by the way x
ReplyDeletelove it - a bit florence, a bit scandi and avery fab - best le
ReplyDeleteSarah J. - I bought the paper from ebay. The seller is called decorsupplies (Australian ebay).
ReplyDeletelittlebetty - it is by Harlequin called Passion.
julie - you make me laugh! Can I borrow that phrase from time to time? Love it. Getting the seams to match is the hardest part. I think I could have done a better job of that to be honest.
Anonymous - the desk was given to me.
toni - I did hang it all by myself. Having an extra pair of hands would have been really helpful!
Hi, love your wallpaper!!!!
ReplyDeleteis there an online site where i can buy pretty wallpapers that deliver overseas?
Hi!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
i found the ebay seller for the wallpaper.
They come in 10.05m x 0.52m.
Just wondering how many rolls did you have to use for your wall?
Have a good day!
