Wallpaper Crafts: Personalize Your Space

Anytime someone mentions the word “wallpaper”, I revert back to my teenage years and even into our newly married first home years and remember with terror the hours spent scraping outdated wallpaper off the walls.

Wallpaper than never should have seen the light of day in the first place. I’m talking dancing bears along the chair rail, and fields of sunflowers plastered to the walls.

Oh the horror. You may have already discovered this fact, but I am just learning that wallpaper has come a long long way from all those years ago.

Not only are the pattern options greater, but there are peel and stick varieties for those not wanting permanency or the use of harsh chemicals and hours of elbow grease to remove it when it’s no longer what they desire.

I’ve been wanting to get my hands on some of the super pretty papers available these days, so when Milton & King approached me about trying a roll of their paper, I was all for it.

Here are 3 creative ideas where I used this lovely roll of marble wallpaper in our home that didn’t include the walls.

Right away, I knew I wanted to create a photo backdrop of marble. I dream of a marble covered kitchen, but until I land the jackpot, faking a marble kitchen in my pictures will have to do.

The subtle gray veining found in marble looks so much better in food images than just a plain white backdrop. I simply covered 2 foam cores with the marble wallpaper. I can use them as the backing to other surfaces or both the backing and surface.

The next idea I had was to add it to a boring old clipboard. I’ve always loved the idea of displaying easy-to-switch-out art on clipboards in the home, but was never fond of the brown in the clipboard.
