Hi guys! I can't believe it has been a while since my last blog post! I really kicked the wedding planning into high gear after realizing I only had 9 months to go (now 7 months)! It seems like a lot of time now but I feel like the one year countdown was just yesterday! They weren't kidding when they said it goes fast! So that's why I've been MIA... but I figured I needed a little break from wedding planning and thought I'd work on a blog post.
In the midst of all the chaos of wedding planning, I found some time to work on a little DIY project in my dining room. I absolutely love shiplap and the way it can give a farmhouse feel to any home, no matter where you live. I love DIY projects but doing real shiplap with wood, paint and all that measuring is just outside of my comfort zone. But I found the next best thing... and I did it all by myself!
One of my favorite past times is to wander around my local Target to see what I can spend my hard earned money on. I can tell you, that's not hard to do!
I stumbled on these Valspar peel and stick, removable wallpapers and when I saw they had a shiplap one, I knew I had to try it! I decided to buy one and just try it out. They had a bunch of different styles and designs to choose from and were about $30-$35 each. For my project, I used 2 rolls.
It was incredibly easy to apply to my wall. Luckily I had a few items lying around the house that helped me.
What I used:
Scissors
X-acto Knife
Something flat and with a straight edge that won't damage your walls... this is to slide across the wallpaper to remove any air bubbles.
Bare with me as I show you the progress pictures. I did not plan this out very well. My kitchen was a disaster and the lighting was just terrible because I took these at night.
Pretty good huh!?
I can't believe how straight the lines were. This wallpaper is basically mistake proof because of how easy it is to remove it and peel again. I probably removed it from the wall 10 times and it still stuck on very well.
I'm planning on buying more and doing the whole back wall of my dining room too! I can't wait to see how much is brightens the room. Once I do that I'll post it on here to show you guys with BETTER PICTURES! lol
