good bye wood panels...

yes it is really gone!!! can you believe it???


I started searching the internet for removable wall paper... and if i may say it was expensive! (about $50 per roll) it wasnt until one day a friend and i were talking about this and she mentioned she seem some   on fab.com.  so to test it out i ordered one roll. i chose the yellow chevron since the living room felt so dark and masculine.


looked good. i was sold... so i measured the walls to see how many pieces i would need in total. went back on fab.com and yup... they were no lover available there. thankfully i was able to purchase more from the main retailers site, artisan wall tiles, it was $2 more per piece totaling $20 per roll...

i was so excited when the shipment came in. and i wasn't hard at all...



i found it easier to start laying the pc and start rubbing from the middle, then left to right. this helped so much on preventing air bubbles. (excuse my un-manicured hands)


here is an example where the blade came in handy

woo hoo top portion completed.
im not gonna lie, working around the light switch was a bitch. but i was able to save the look by using the cut out piece and camouflaging it...



here are the end results... what do you think? 


would you consider this in your home?
