For the love of wallpaper

The proliferation of wallpaper in our home started simply enough: the stairs. The white riser seemed out of place without a skirt board -- in fact, it looked unfinished. Then I came upon stick-on tiles and considered those for a time (see example below right) before deciding on peel-and-stick wallpaper. And, oh, what a great decision that was!

Juniper Forest from Rifle Paper Co. ended up being the perfect choice for several reasons: 1) one roll covered all 17 risers, 2) because of the pattern, I was able to install it sideways, eliminating any seam matches, and 3) it's gorgeous! One $50 roll and a couple of hours later...

After falling in love with Juniper Forest on my stairs, I found other places to use it: inside dresser drawers, above our mantle, on a wall in our former dining room (still not quite sure what to call this space), and on a wall in our entry.

I realize there are other worthy wallpaper designs, and am anxious to see if they live up to Rifle Paper Co.'s peel-and-stick. I'll find out soon enough, as I'm closing in on being ready to wallpaper the upstairs bath! I have one other space I've decided on wallpaper, but will save the surprise for later -- one project at a time!
