Remember that Erica Wakerly wallpaper I was obsessing over? Well, here it is in action at furb.
Sigh.
I love it, but it just won't work in the space I wanted it for. So, I've decided to step away from papering the TV / Karaoke Room of Awesomeness for now and go with a gallery wall instead. I can always paper it when the perfect one reveals itself to me.
Sadly this decision left a wallpaper void in my life. This morning, I chuckled warmly and rubbed my chubby hands together with glee* when I saw this "after" pinned to one of my sister's boards. Wallpapered bookshelves in my home office seem like a perfect way for me to experiment with wallpaper without having to resolve my pattern commitment issues.
*No, my hands aren't really chubby. This is just something I say to creep out my sister.
i know, i want wallpaper too but can't justify the cost. it made me think of these: http://pinterest.com/pin/280067670546835060/ http://pinterest.com/pin/280067670546835182/ maybe using remnants. do you know of any stores that stock wallpaper (new or vintage?)

Fun links! I don't know of any stores that carry remnants, but hygge & west sells some of their papers by the yard: http://www.hyggeandwest.com/collections/clearance/products/wallpaper-by-the-yard
