The love of wallpaper!!

I am obsessed with wallpaper! Many homeowners do not use it, but I love it! I think it is a great way to dress up a bathroom, and add some color! This is not the cheapest route to go if trying to save money in your new home, however I knew this is something I really wanted to spend our budget on. 

We shopped around a lot with installers because they will get you with the price and installment of size of room and per roll. My uncle is in the furniture business so I was able to get my wallpaper wholesale from Dixie Textiles. Talk about an overwhelming experience is picking out wallpaper!!!! I am pretty obsessed with the final product!!

living room

Designing the living room was a big deal to me. I was so nervous because my main color was from my drapes that I sewed! I tend to be colorful, and for the sake of my husband I tried my best to keep the colors neutral with small pops of color in accent pillows, drapes, etc...


I purchased the couches years ago, the vintage train cart was from Home Goods, rug ikea, entertainment piece-ikea, lamp-z-gallerie, pillows-pottery barn/home goods/target.

I was so worried with the wall colors, but once we got the drapes up I really love how the room turned out!

Barstools

DIY Barstools

I really wanted something fun and different for our kitchen barstools, first I didn't have a lot of money to spend, and secondly I couldn't find anything I liked. 

I went to pick up patio furniture and they were moving so said if saw anything else make them an offer, I got all 3 barstools for $30! I was excited about them because I had just purchased two barstools (exact ones for $60 from Walmart) agh --RETURNED!

A little sanding, spray paint, sanding, paint, seat cushion, and upholstered!

I used foam leftover from another project, and got some fun fabric! I am so excited for these in our new place!
