Showcasing wallpaper as art by making it into a canvas!

Wallpaper and canvas art - So Much Better With Age

Today is the last part of our three-part series on One Item Project Challenge.

The first week was twigs, the second week was fabric.

This week’s challenge? Wallpaper!

We were each able to choose a gorgeous roll of wallpaper from Spoonflower. The hardest part was choosing which one.

What did I do with my roll of wallpaper?

I made some artwork with it! Let me show you how.

Wallpaper and canvas wall art / cherry blossom - So Much Better With Age

My daughter’s room at the rustic cabin in the woods needed some artwork so I thought a roll of wallpaper on two canvases would look beautiful.

So I purchased two canvases, 24 x 36 inches in size.

And got this beautiful roll from Spoonflower.

I painted the sides pink to match the wallpaper.

Figure out where you want the wallpaper to lay on each canvas and cut leaving about an inch on all sides.

Next you need to ‘book’ the wallpaper. Booking the wallpaper means to wet the adhesive backing then fold the top and bottom over to meet the middle and let sit for about 3-5 minutes.

(The wallpaper comes with a handy instruction sheet just in case you forget)

Wallpaper and canvas art / letting the wallpaper dry - So Much Better With Age

I found it easiest to lay the wallpaper on the floor with the backing facing up and placing the canvas over top.

Flip over and smooth the wallpaper over until all the air bubbles are out.

Once dry, cut the edges of the wallpaper for a clean edge. I used my fabric cutter.

There was one edge that wasn’t sticking so I re-wet the backing and pressed firmly in place then stuck a huge pile of heavy stuff on it and let it sit like that for a few hours.

Worked like a charm.

I love the way they look now in my daughter’s room up at the cabin. It fills the blank wall nicely.

 I’m going to add some faux cherry blossoms to the twig heart art I think.

These mirrors used to be in the powder room at home. They look lovely here.

The antlers I recently found at Home Sense.

I just love the fabric for the curtains.

They fit so nicely in her Scandinavian room.

Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in Do you know what all these beautiful rooms have in common! They are all painted in the same paint color - White Dove OC-17 by @benjaminmoore. 💚 White is one of the hardest colors to pick for your home. It can pick up different surrounding colors which is why you can’t just Google a paint color and paint it on your walls. 💚 For my home, Simply White has worked the best. And White Dove is very similar. Swipe to see  some of these gorgeous rooms. 💚➡️ Check my blog post for tips on the best way to pick any paint colors for your home.

Making your own pillow covers is easier than you t Making your own pillow covers is easier than you think! I love changing out my throw cushions on my couch and just being able to store pillow covers is far easier than the whole pillow. 💚 I can only sew straight lines so if I can sew these, you can! It’s an envelope pillow pattern so no zippers or buttons involved.

Our basement is the perfect place to store seasona Our basement is the perfect place to store seasonal / holiday / decor items. I’ve had plenty of it over the years (too much!) as I’ve been blogging for 10 years! I went through all my Christmas decor this year before I packed it all away and got rid of so much! It felt so good. 💚 Next, I’ll do the same for the other holidays coming up (like Easter, I have 2 bins just for Easter!). Decluttering is easier when it’s done in stages. I’m also really into minimal seasonal decor lately so I think it will be much easier to say goodbye to the extra ‘stuff’. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you have lots of seasonal / holiday / decor items in your home? ➡️ Check out my blog posts on how to organize these items in IG stories. .

Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms o Sometimes it helps to look at your home in terms of square footage not how the builder or the previous owner used it. My dining room was once a family room but with our small main floor already having a living room and a very small dining room, we thought this room would be better suited for a bigger dining room (swipe to see the before with the cabinet, the before before when we first bought it and the reno) 💚 It pays to look at your home differently especially during this pandemic. I think we’re all going to look at how we use our homes differently going forward. 💚➡️ What about you? Do you use a room for a different purpose than what it was intended for? .

Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it ha Oh man, I am so sentimental. It really makes it hard to also be a person that is organized and hates clutter! I’m a sentimental purger! 😂 I feel most happy when everything has its place and I’ve kept a few meaningful things, but not too many. Just the right amount. It’s a very fine balance, isn’t it? Do you have a hard time with letting go of sentimental items? I have lots of tips of in my blog post ➡️ Check stories for the link and I’ll keep it in my organization highlight in my profile.
