Hi Jacqueline, there are some amazing wallpapers out there now! I have never been a huge wallpaper fan but I just did a statement wall in my bedroom this past Spring and am totally in love with it! I'm sure you can find something that suits your style. BTW, they are so much easier to put now too :) Have fun!

Hello Jacqueline,
Choose your paper and paint. Use Dust sheets on the floor. Go ahead and have fun and enjoy the process!
