With the help of your favorite color paint or paints…some complimentary wallpaper you are ready to create some fabulous display or storage wall art…these would work in just about any space in the house…wouldn’t they be adorable in a nursery holding that special teddy bear and treasures…you could have a collection in the kitchen and create vignettes for all kinds of special days or seasons…well the list goes on…so next time a single roll of wallpaper catches your eye…snatch it up…a masterpiece is waiting to be born!

creates a custom look with the application of wallpaper to the panels of this unit. Great way to show your style and fair…you can be subtle or…
BHG shows us how to add a bit of style not only to the furniture…but the lampshade and some of the wall art. By simply adhering wallpaper to a lamp shade you create something oh so special…or you don’t have to use the whole piece…you can cut out strategic designs and just add those! The wall art is simply wallpaper scraps adhered to random wooden shapes and some scraps that are framed…looks like a million bucks but doesn’t hurt the budget!
How about a beautiful tray for that perfect accessory!
In moments you have a stunning new piece!

They also just take a simple square of coordinating wallpaper and create a placemat…so simple…so easy…so elegant!
How about a silhouette cut out of wallpaper? Choose your shape…know your style and you can have a fabulous addition to any wall space in no time!

This is wallpaper that kids can fill in the frames with their creative drawings…or place photos in them…or quotes…or… (the list goes on and on) LOVE it…need it! lol!!!!
Oh and how about framing a panel of this…even more fun!
With just a few scraps you can cover those tin cans instead of recycling them. It’s that easy and looks fabulous!

Over at
there are some fun ideas mixing Annie Sloan with wallpaper…here is one and I love it…covering the table top and placing glass over it…great for someone that likes to change styles…with the weight of the glass…you don’t even have to adhere the paper to the wood…leaving it a canvas that can be changed on a whim!
So the next time you see a roll of fabulous wallpaper…don’t pass it up and if you are lucky enough to run into one of those wallpaper books that the paint store is getting rid of…SNATCH IT UP!!!! (there will be a feature on crafting with wallpaper…so those little pieces are soooooo useful to have : )
