You’ll need clear partitions and it is suggested to attend
4 weeks after portray to use detachable wallpaper. 

I pulled up the peel and stick wallpaper as much as take away the nails, then
utilized it again to the wall usually. 

When every bit of wallpaper was absolutely caught to the wall, I discovered my marks
and reinserted the nails in every spot: 

This helped a TON! I saved a lot time with this technique. 

I spent a pair hours a day working across the prime two thirds of the partitions
hanging the wallpaper. It took a number of days, and I used to be SO thrilled with the
end result!:

Once I hung this art work shortly after we moved in, I had no concept I might be
utilizing inexperienced within the room. Seems the Classic Vogue paint shade works
completely with the leaves within the artwork.

After the wallpaper was up, I began no less than among the trim work that
will go across the backside third of the partitions. 

As a result of I will be putting in wainscoting, I wanted to take away the present
baseboards: 

I changed the bottom with a less complicated 1×6 inch wooden board that has a flat prime,
so my trim work can butt straight as much as it: 

Whereas I used to be at it, I put in that chair rail (1×4 inches) as properly. I
painted the trim and the house between with the identical inexperienced paint because the
bookcases. 

I will be including some detailed trim between the chair and baseboards
quickly! 

The one main merchandise I wish to change out on this room is the rug. I attempted
out a much bigger rug I discovered on-line and after I laid it out one night, I actually
preferred it within the room. 

However there have been a pair points. Even after steaming, it simply
wouldn’t lay flat: 

The rug comes folded and the creases wouldn’t budge. I taped down the perimeters
with rug tape and it nonetheless did not assist to flatten it out. I used to be tremendous
involved this could be a tripping hazard. (I am not getting any youthful!!)
😊

Loopy factor was, the rug is so light-weight I could not even vacuum it. It
would get caught within the vacuum it doesn’t matter what setting I had it on. 

Additionally, after I walked within the room very first thing the following day, I hated the
colours. It felt tremendous heavy and manner too darkish. The outline says it is
imagined to be inexperienced and brown, however I solely noticed brown and black.

The subsequent mission I accomplished was altering out the backs of the bookcases.
Beforehand I hung a cherry blossom wallpaper on that wall, and wanted to
take away it earlier than portray. 

I used a brand new, sharp razor blade to flippantly rating the wallpaper round all
the perimeters: 

The wallpaper got here off virtually completely! I solely had a few small spots
that pulled away among the drywall.

After the partitions have been naked, I gave the backs of every shelf three coats of the
inexperienced paint on the remainder of the constructed ins (Classic Vogue by Benjamin
Moore): 

Then it was time to begin (re)adorning the cabinets! The earlier wallpaper
on the backs was impartial, however nonetheless too busy so as to add so much to every
shelf. 

Now that the bookcase is all one shade, I might fill them a bit of extra.
Nearly all the decor is what I had readily available, however I will hyperlink the few newer
objects beneath. 

I discover adorning cabinets to be the toughest, however I’ve by no means been happier
with a adorned bookcase or in-built earlier than! I had a lot enjoyable transforming
the decor.

The cabinets are crammed with objects and recollections I really love
and operate completely for me. 

A number of the decor stayed the identical, I simply moved it round or added to it.
I’ve had these brass elephant bookends perpetually, and added them to the row of
books: 

The darkish vase is from Passion Foyer and I believe I could have gotten the
hydrangea stems from there as properly, however I’ve had them for some time.

The shelf within the center just about stayed the identical, however I gave the art work
body a fast coat of paint. I will share all the little DIYs I’ve finished in
this room quickly!

I’ve by no means displayed my faculty diploma! It has been
almost 30 years 😳 since I
graduated, however I believed why not? 

I additionally adore that little bitty brass vase on the wall. I discovered that at an
vintage retailer years in the past and that is the proper spot for it. 

I will be again quickly with extra updates on this house! To date I am thrilled with
the progress. I am targeted on making this room actually replicate me this time
round. I am certain that is why I find it irresistible a lot. 

If I forgot something or if in case you have questions on a mission I described
right here, please let me know.
