Eureka!

I have long lamented the fact that because we rent, putting up wallpaper isn't really feasible. I'm not about to spend a ton of money on some awesome wallpaper only to have to tear it down a few months later. But when we were staying at our hotel in Buenos Aires, I loved the way the designers had framed the wallpaper from the bedroom in the living room....and then it hit me...FRAMES!
Above: Inspiration. Below: in practice.
Now I just gotta find the wallpaper...

  1. I LOVE this idea!!!!!!!! This is just brilliant. I especially love the red and purple wall paper from Abby Goes Design Scouting. Us renters need a little extra help... I just realized I could also do this with some awesome vintage fabric that I have (seeing as I don't sew). YEEEESSSSSS!!!!!
