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!

bedroom

These night stands were my parents that they had for over 20+ years, and I knew they would be perfect in our bedroom so I redid these, and found this dresser at a thrift store. I started to sanded, more sanding...painted and added knobs! This took me about a week to finish everything and a couple coats of paint!


The key to getting a slick finished piece is using a spray gun. I have not used spray paint on these pieces. The spray gun makes it very easy to paint any type of furniture and different woods.


Dresser-$50
Knobs-$2.50 each

Nightstand-free
knobs-$2.50 each
paint-$100 but I used this on 7 pieces of furniture.
