New Ways to Use Wallpaper
Sunset: September 2008

If you've been an AT faithful for a while now, you probably remember Christiana Coop's mini-house tour with us back in February. In this month's Sunset magazine, she offers some fantastic tips and ideas for installing wallpaper in small doses. (As the U.S. representative for Ferm Living, this girl knows her wallpaper.)

There are step-by-step instructions for wallpapering door panels, a ceiling, a tray table, and a staircase. You can read the entire article on the Sunset website.

(By the way, we feel better knowing that Christiana also uses double-sided tape for some of her projects — just like we did for the built-in desk we showed you last week.)

I've really come to appreciate bold wallpaper when it's applied to small areas & broken up a bit. I'm not fond of it otherwise.

I did my stairs on Sunday, inspired by a previous AT post, but instead of wallpaper, I used an oversized vinyl black-and-white photographic print (an old sample that was hanging around my office). For only an hour's worth of work, it looks pretty amazing!

I've been trying to figure out what wall I'd put that cute design behind her on...no luck yet. Perhaps a bathroom wall? I dunno. I am quite fond of it, though.
