Interior Design Bingo: Wallpaper

You are looking at our version of wallpaper. After I started trying to brainstorm ideas of what I could use for the "Wallpaper Bingo" square I expirienced a palm to forheard moment. Duh! Use the wall in the office.

So it all started with a little pillow that I came across at the local tar-jay before Chris and I moved into our house. Well truth be told it all started when Chris put his foot down and said it would not be a horrible idea to sand down our orange peel textured walls to apply wallpaper. le sigh. This said pillow was also featured in the first season of Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami. 

Back to the business- I found this pillow and told Chris that I wanted to try and paint the same pattern in the office. He happily helped me tape off the wall. He is such a perfectionist, which is great because if it wasn't for him the squares would have been wonky for sure! We used his precise measuring and leveling skills instead of my normal "eyeballing it" technique that he does not particularly care for.

After a few hours (literally) of taping, a few hours of painting, and a few hours of entertaining spectators (Cody and Rachel) we were left with the final product at 3:30am on a Saturday night, well Sunday morning that is. The top left hand corner matches the pillow and the rest is our own little flavor. After we finished painting I immediately wished we had used the pillow as inspiration but used different colors.

This is an old picture. We have since replaced the two chairs with a more comfortable office chair since I spend a lot time in the office doing homework. It's so weird how little that desk looks since it is actually very large in person. If I took a picture today you wouldn't be able to see the surface of the desk. I need a new filing system other than the desktop!


Here is my dream "wallpaper" from Pinterest.
If only my husband would be down for this. Sequin Wall? Yes, please!
