It was really fun to share a couple of my very favorite striped things on Oh Joy yesterday. (Read more here - Thank you Joy and Bri!) I'll bet you are wondering where that fabulous wallpaper is from? Look no further than Oh Joy herself along with H&W truly...
Which reminds me... maybe you'd like to see the Stone's Throw Away wallpapering step by step, yes?
1. Put on some sweat pants preferably with complementary sweat jacket, assuming you haven't been wearing sweats already in which case you're already done with step 1, so easy!
2. Measure your gorgeous wallpaper so you know where to start hanging it.
3. Measure out 1 inch less than your wallpaper from the corner wall and 4. draw a vertical line from that point so that you can line up your first wallpaper strip with it.
5. You guessed it! Line up your first wallpaper strip with the line you just drew (after you apply some paste to the wall).
6. Keep pasting, smoothing and hugging the seams.
7. Take a break for some gummy cola bottles, unless your subpar Walgreens on the corner is out of those in which case you'll need to settle for some cinnamon bears. 7a. I like mine frozen, because they last longer between bites - this is totally optional.
8. Keep going, you are almost done! Around this point Pandora might ask you if you are still listening. Answer yes. This last strip is critical and music will help push you through!
9. When you're done, you deserve something special. If you're lucky, like me, your favorite taqueria will be located next door to a place where you can pick up a tasty beverage with an ATM between. Now that is just geography. Or maybe you plan in advance and have things in stock to celebrate your wallpapering feat? Regardless, you deserve a cocktail and some chips and salsa at the very least.
When you get back home with said fiesta supplies, quickly move your furniture back in to place, snap a picture for posterity and enjoy!
