Guest Room Wallpaper Progress

by Jennifer

I have been a wallpapering machine this week so far and am suuuuuuper close to being finished with the guest room walls. If you need to catch up, you can see the plans for the room HERE and the new bedding I added to the room HERE. Here’s a little reminder too.

Guest room board N
1 – kelly green upholstered headboard
2 – velvet trim linen duvet and shams
3 – floral Euro shams
4 – blush pillows (cotton velvet option and linen option)
5 – mustard yellow bench
6 – coral herringbone pillows
7 – linen mid-century modern chairs
8 – palms wallpaper

quality twin bedding-5

While the fabric wall in the photo above photographed nicely, it did not look great in person and never turned out quite like I’d hoped it would. For the new wallpaper, I’ve partnered with Walls Need Love – I talked about their wallpapers HERE, what sets them apart from other wallpapers, and shared some of my favorite patterns.

For the guest room, I chose the Palms pattern and now that it is almost finished it really is everything I had hoped it would be. I absolutely love it.

The application is even easier and more brilliant than I’d hoped it would be. I have done my fair share of wallpapering and this stuff is amazing. Really, truly, no exaggeration, it is the easiest wallpaper I have ever worked with. It doesn’t tear, it doesn’t get soggy and snag, the utility knife doesn’t get caught when trimming edges. There is zero mess, no drippy paste to deal with or piles of paper towels from cleaning the edges and the surface of the paper. You just peel, stick, smooth, and trim. It is fabulous and my 100% honest review is that I would use this wallpaper again in a heartbeat. I’m not sure I ever want to go back to traditional wallpaper after working with this!

I guess I can’t say zero mess actually, but then I leave a trail of destruction behind me every time I get caught up in a project. The papering process itself is SO much less messy than traditional wallpapering. My parents are coming to visit us this weekend and need to sleep in this room so I plan to finish up the papering tomorrow and declutter the room so they can actually stay in it!

I’ll have another update in here for you next week – the new chairs are in and they look so pretty up against the new wallpaper!

      Thanks, Cassie! The guest room is sort of out of the way but I keep making excuses to swing by and ogle it :)

    I love that wallpaper SO MUCH! I was looking at their site when you posted about them awhile back, eyeing some possibilities for our travel trailer. I’m not sure if it will make it onto the spring to-do list, but sometime I’m going to de-brownify that thing!

      Down with the brown!!! Don’t you wish you had time for EVERYTHING this year?? I feel like like all the time!

    Oh I love this pattern you chose!! So fresh and fun!! I swore I would never wallpaper again after removing scraping paper off so.many.walls…….but when I see a design like this I get all fired up about wallpaper again. I need to check out this source!

      I’ve never had to scrape so maybe that has been part of my willingness to paper :) This stuff is great though, peels RIGHT off if you change your mind or want to remove someday!

      Thanks, Julia :) It’s so pretty in person, I find myself strolling to the guest room almost daily just so I can look at it.

    Looks beautiful! I purchased the waves wallpaper and am having so much trouble getting all of my lines to add up. Any tips on how you did so much room and keeping it all perfectly straight! I have had to redo my first strip 3 times and it’s still not matching perfectly with my second strip! Is it just me?

    • Jennifer@TheChroniclesofHome says

      The edges of this wallpaper are meant to overlap by about 1/4″. Have you been doing that?

      • Megan says

        Yes – you inspired me to finish yesterday! I put the first piece down with no problems last week, but then kept having trouble matching lines perfectly. I ended up peeling up and starting over to ensure a perfectly straight line. I have a few spots that aren’t perfectly smooth but overall I am thrilled with the way it looks! I love your room too! Thanks for motivating me to pull the trigger!

          That is great! Such a good feeling to have a project done, isn’t it? :)






Meet Jen

I'm a design and DIY lover, decorator, modern home-maker, foodie, fashion enthusiast, and jill-of-all-trades when it comes to home improvement. I'm slowly but surely adding classic-contemporary style to my early 90's colonial home one inch at a time and I'm taking you along for the ride.

It's often messy - there are usually project remnants and toys strewn about - but the making of a home isn't always tidy work and I love showing you how you can make and style and organize your way to a home and a life you love!
