Dreamy, right? Do any of you have experience with hanging wallpaper? What about hanging wallpaper in a bookcase? Please say yes and that you live next door and are excited + willing to help with this crazy project, because I already know Brian is rolling his eyes + shaking his head + is seriously doubting whether our marriage could survive hanging relatively expensive (floral!) sticky paper (that has to follow a pattern!) inside a squishy, cramped space.
Did I just scare away all of my helpful internet neighbor buddies? Yes?
p.s. I just had to throw this in:
the blooming filigree mural in all its glory. hello, perfect for the sunny entryway that i don't have...
all images from anthropologie. and for the record, I don't blame brian for not being super stoked about helping me with my crazy projects. i tend to be a little bossy + magically disappear when things start getting tricky, only to return in time to wrinkle my nose + and mumble about how he did it wrong - yeah, i'm probably the worst project partner ever. anyyyyywaaay - thanks for stopping in + have a happy day, okay? ox.

They do some of this wall paper on book cases or hutches and it turns out lovely! I bet you can find some help there, or e-mail the lady and ask her. GOOD LUCK! Post pics when you are done!
I asked Barb Blair of Knack about applying paper (any type) to furniture once ... she told me modpoge, then seal with a poly. I'll try to remember to dig out her email (or comment, I dont remember which) and send it your way. btw I love these anthro florals. I really love the first one... also, I just purchased enough Chaing Mai Dragon fabric for my chair... I think ima take you up on posting my way through first time DIY upholstery with much too expensive fabric :) we'll see if project #2 with upholstery ensures... I would love to come and help you + drink tea + eat your delicious foodstuffs.
also, thank you for your sweet words! fall is doing something to me, I'm moody and reflective, which is good, but I'm feeling overwhelmed... I need a goal...
I'll help! Sounds like an awesome project. Maybe one evening when we won't have 5 littles around to "help" as well. Either way I would love to see the finished product.
