For those who love change: temporary wallpaper tutorial

This is probably one of the easiest projects I have taken on!

I found these two wallpapers and fell in love! The only problem? I'm a broke-soon-to-be-college-kid!
So, I changed it into a DIY





Supplies:

  • Tissue Paper of your color choice
  • Spray Starch 
  • Paper cutter or Scissors
  • An old rag

First, decide on a pattern and Tissue Paper color 
I chose gold, from Party City, where they had a huge selection of colors



Then, I simply cut out my shapes from the tissue paper!




Spray with starch, stick on wall. Spray with starch and wipe to flatten. Simple.






   

(And, honestly, I didn't do the whole wall because I ran out of time :D )


To remove, peel off paper and wash wall to remove starch.
I apologize for the crappy ipod photos :)

Expenses:
Tissue paper: $1.99
Other supplies: had on hand!
Total Cost: $1.99

My Bathroom Design Dreams



Hey!! As I'm working on the finishing touches of the PLAN for my bathroom, I put together this little collage.
The vanity is actually mine (along with the sink), as is the flooring. I really don't like the flooring, but I have no choice. The vanity used to be a dining room table, but give me a saw and well.... 



I wanted to put 3x6 subway tiles on the wall going up 3.5 feet, but I don't want to spend the money. So, either I'll scratch the idea, paint them on like in the following picture, or do wainscoting.
