Powder Room Progress- Accent Wall

After I painted the powder room walls, my rustic glam makeover pretty much stalled. I spent endless hours searching for ideas but I didn’t see anything I loved.I pretty much gave up looking and then last weekend, I found just what I was looking for and my wall treatment problem was solved. I decided on an accent wall using temporary wallpaper.

This is the wall after painting but before the accent wall installation.

As with traditional wallpaper you need to start with a plumb line. That line will keep the wallpaper straight. I measured 20.5″ from the corner of the wall and marked it with chalk.

Starting at the top of the wall, peel back about 12 inches of the paper backing and apply to the wall. Leave a few inches of excess wallpaper at the ceiling and make sure to line the right side of the wallpaper with your plumb line and push it onto the wall. When I made a mistake or went over the plumb line, I just peeled back the wallpaper and repositioned it.

The finished accent wall turned out great and I love it! I think it is rustic and glam but not too feminine.
