Yeah~ it’s definitely a good option but the selection is limited. Also I would like to mention that I live in Texas which is full of heat and humidity so no peeling in 3 years speaks well for the product.

Hey Maeve, This is so good to hear! I didn’t even consider temporary wallpaper when I started the project, but I should have. I had no idea that temporary paper held up equally as well to the real deal. Thanks for sharing, I’m sure this info could really help out other readers. I know the next time I wallpaper I will totally consider using a temporary paper.

Hey Lexy! This makes me happy to hear that you think this tutorial makes wallpapering seem possible for you. Tutorial success! The star wallpaper is really sweet – I bet the stencil looks great. I agree, they are probably both a bit of work. I meant to put this in my post – I wallpapered this one wall in 3 hours. In doesn’t take a ton of time, you just have to be prepared to be stressed out for the entirety of the project.

Hi Allison. Yes, overall it was a good experience once we figured out a system of getting it on the wall. Basically, you uncover half of your panel, line it up next to the pattern repeat, stick it to the top of the ceiling and squeegee it down, smoothing out any bubbles or wrinkles, uncovering the vinyl backing as you move down. Used a blade to trim at the end. We used a screen printing squeegee I had leftover from college so it was almost the same width as the paper. It’s been on our wall for almost 3 years now and hasn’t peeled off, and should not leave any residue when we decide to take it down. Our paper was from Tempaper and I’d buy from them again, although CB2 just put out some sweet temp wallpaper that I would like to try out next time.

Thanks, Dawn!

Thanks Anya! I wasn’t sold either ;) I’m happy I went with it though, it really looks great in the space and ties in all the colors that are happening in the sunroom. You should really consider rewallpapering especially if you have a really pretty paper in mind. Taking the old paper down is a pain, but it’s not the end of the world. I did wallpaper our vestibule and it was really hard to operate in that small space, I thought because it was small it would be easy. Good luck if you decide to go for it!

I hear that – Especially when it’s so expensive! I ordered two rolls of paper but was able to get this job done in one roll. It is stressful, but wallpaper isn’t as fragile as you would think.

Hey Maeve! Did you have good experience with the vinyl wallpaper? I’d be curious to hear your thoughts on it.

Hey Stacey! Thanks! I primed the wall prior to wallpapering, but that isn’t necessary. The wallpaper paste I used is water based AND can be stripped, so technically the wallpaper should come down without too much of a fight. We will see if that really happens when that time comes. For now though it’s staying ;)

The first thing I did after wallpapering was turn that bed 90º. We slept like that for one night and determined very quickly that we just couldn’t do it. That side of the room is just too dark and there are no windows to look out of. It’s nearly impossible to get up on these dark mornings anyway, we don’t need to move ourselves back in the darkest side of the room on top of it. It’s also a little more narrow than maybe these photos make it look. Our room is about 20′ x 12′ long so when you put the bed all the way down on the far side of the room it makes the rest of the room feel really far away. When we had it set up that way there is enough room to put night stands on either side of the bed, but there is no room for any other sort of dresser or furniture. I wish it worked better, but it just doesn’t. I’ll share a floor plan with you guys in the coming weeks. Thanks!
