DIY Easy Accent Wall

April 1st?! How are we already 1/4 through 2019?!  I’m not really into April “fools” but I am into DIYs and Spring is the perfect time for projects.  I am especially excited about today’s post.  Not only is this a project I wanted to do for a while but I will also be sharing a few other talented & creative ladies.  At the end of this post you’ll find the links for their projects, make sure to check them out!

I decided to refresh our entry with a DIY easy accent wall…with wallpaper.  I know wallpaper might seem like a big commitment there is a multitude of “peel and stick” options that can be easily applied and removed.

These are the last two photos I found on my phone showing what the entry view was when you open our front door

It isn’t a large space which provided a perfect opportunity to try out something new.

SUPPLIES

• peel & stick wallpaper
• measuring tape
• X-ACTO knife
• X-ACTO cutting mat
• smoothing tool-I used a ruler and it worked just fine

STEPS

• measure, measure, and re-measure
• mark & cut using knife/board
• peel off backing a little at a time and apply to wall

slowly smooth out air bubbles using tool of choice

• line up pattern and repeat until desired area is covered
• use X-ACTO knife to cut any excess if necessary

Given that this was my first time, I was pretty happy that the entire process took under an hour. I’m sure it could be done faster once you get the hang of it.  I did have an extra set of (much taller) hands which was a big help.  This wallpaper really brightened up the space and added some interest.  I wonder what I should wallpaper next?
