DIY: Scenic Mural Panels

<center></center>Remember those beautiful <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2012/02/chinese-wallpaper-in-acrylic-frames.html" target="_blank">hand-painted Chinese wallpaper panels</a> I had hanging in the loft? I'd been keeping them in storage while we lived in Brooklyn and had planned on putting them in our bedroom of our new house. As <a href="http://domino.com/jenny-komendas-southwestern-home-makeover" target="_blank">the Domino shoot</a> deadline crept up, I was starting to get a little nervous about finding the panels. I hadn't seen them since the move.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_29312.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_29312.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>We did everything we could to find them before the shoot - we turned the house and garage upside down, we called movers, we called NY neighbors and family that had helped us pack. No one had seen the panels. So I had no choice but to start from scratch with the bedroom and decided to make my own panels at the very last minute.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo cIMG_5700.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/cIMG_5700.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />I looked online for some artist's paper in pretty colors, but everything felt too bright and too flat. I wanted the color to be soft and sort of mottled or worn-in looking. Then I saw this box of rosin paper in the paint section at Home Depot. The color, size and price were all perfectly perfect.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_6565.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_6565.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />I went back online to figure out what to paint for our murals. This was about 48 hours before the shoot - and I wasn't feeling particularly creative or patient. More like exhausted and majorly nauseated from morning sickness. :) Good times. I think the panels came together though! I ended up deciding on a desert scene - it felt appropriate for this house. The older I get, the more I love and appreciate the beauty of the desert.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_5702.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_5702.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">There are so many cool shapes in the plants and, surprisingly, a huge range of really beautiful, soft colors in the desert. Just to keep things simple for me though, I used only white paint for the mural.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_5715.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_5715.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt=" photo IMG_5709.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_5709.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />I free-handed it, and it ended up being a pretty quick project. Just a couple hours all together. Part of me wishes I had had more time to spend on these, but I sort of like the simplistic quality. It does the job of dressing up and bringing in the big, long wall of our bedroom, and I think the soft mauve color is so pretty against the dark, moody Knoxville Gray walls.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4801.jpg" border="0" height="440" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_4801.jpg" style="text-align: start;" width="640" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4787.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_4787.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />Just like with installing the Chinese panels, I measured and marked out the spacing on the bed wall and hung the panels directly to the walls with picture hanging strips, and then screwed in the plexi sheets on top using pretty brass screws. It's a simple job, but definitely requires two or three helpers. Those plexi sheets are heavy and awkward!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4878.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_4878.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4864.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_4864.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">DIY to the rescue again! Someday my life will not be so crazy and I'll have more time to plan these projects out a bit more thoughtfully. That's the goal, anyway. :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4895.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_4895.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_4824.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda043/IMG_4824.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div>

Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper

<br/><img alt="top camel Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " height="428" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/top-camel.jpg" title="Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " width="600" /> Calico may possibly evoke images of homespun goodness and demure florals, but Rachel Mosler and Nick Cope, the founders of the bespoke wallpaper company Calico Wallpaper have something considerably a lot more glamorous in mind. Their Brooklyn-based design studio (named, with no trace of irony, for the couple’s enviably photogenic calico cat) has rapidly created a name for itself as a purveyor of ravishing wall coverings which have their inception in the sorts of venerable art types and processes that resonate with creative types schooled in the joys of generating items with their hands—something about which an artist (Rachel) and the owner of a design/build firm (Nick) might know a issue or two.</p><br/><p>Informed by two ancient paper marbling traditions—the Japanese art of Suminagashi and the Turkish art of Ebru—Calico Wallpaper has arrived at a laboriously exacting process for creating richly detailed, shimmering marbleized compositions that can pretty be described as art. Handmade cotton paper and carefully calibrated applications of metallic pigments that make each composition wholly unique—and no small dose of patience—comprise Calico Wallpaper’s recipe for “the largest marbled papers that exist nowadays.” Two signature motifs—the lustrous gold-flecked Wabi, inspired by “the landscapes of the ancient east,” and the satiny, silvery Lunaris series, channeling “moonscapes and uninhabited space”—are the heart of the Calico brand. And, my, what a dazzling heart.<br/><img alt="screen shot at pm Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " height="446" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/screen-shot-at-pm___________.png" title="Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="screen shot at pm Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " height="457" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/screen-shot-at-pm____________.png" title="Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " width="600" /><br/><img alt="collection Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " height="400" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/collection.jpg" title="Bedazzled: Calico Wallpaper amazing ideas " width="600" /></p><br/><p>Images: Calico Wallpaper</p><br/><br/><p>

The Entry - Almost Done!

<center></center>I'm a little under the weather this week, but I wanted to share some photos today of how the wallpaper in the entry turned out. The pattern is <a href="http://us.farrow-ball.com/lotus/wallpaper/fcp-category/list" target="_blank">Lotus by Farrow & Ball</a> and I love how it is both so traditional and so modern. It's hard to imagine ever getting sick of this one.  :)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo E10.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E10.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo E6.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E6.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo E7.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E7.jpg" /><br /><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><img alt=" photo E5.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E5.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt=" photo E8.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E8.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I think the paper works so well with the new chandelier we recently hung in the entry. It's the Tilda chandelier from Arteriors and it was a total splurge, even with my designer's discount, but the Lotus paper was just begging for something special I think. :)</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo E4.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E4.jpg" /><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">I wanted a really unique chandelier in here, and this one definitely fit the bill! It has that same trad-meets-mod quality. There are five or six bulbs in the fixture, so it's not crazy bright, but it puts out a really pretty glow in the evenings when we have it on. I love it.</div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo E2.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E2.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I'm still loving the black stairs, but I think it's about time to get going on the stair runner project, especially now that the paper is installed. I'll probably do something pretty neutral, like a sisal, to not fight the pattern of the paper and the Persian runner in front of the door.</div><br /><img alt=" photo E3.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda029/E3.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">We're getting there! Remember when the entry <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2013/06/valley-house-tour-entry.html" target="_blank">looked like this</a>?</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"></div>

Wallpaper on the Playroom Ceiling

<center></center>The ceiling in the playroom is really low - just under eight feet. It actually feels nice and cozy, especially for the kids, but I wanted to try and trick the eye a little. I hung <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2014/07/diy-yellow-curtains-for-playroom.html" target="_blank">the yellow curtains</a> almost up to the ceiling and that helped, but it felt like we needed something a little more exciting up on or by the ceiling.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 26.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/26.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />I've always loved Julia Rothman's <a href="http://www.hyggeandwest.com/products/daydream-white" target="_blank">Daydream wallpaper</a> from Hygge & West. In a middle-of-the-night design session I remembered the pattern and reached out the company to see if they had enough rolls in stock to send me a rush shipment. We were only a few days out from the Domino shoot at this point and I needed that paper ASAP!! Hygge & West was <i>wonderful </i>to work with and they rushed those couple of rolls out right away.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 30.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/30.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 11.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/11.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><a name="more"></a><br /><br />I went with <a href="http://www.hyggeandwest.com/products/daydream-white" target="_blank">the green color way</a>, which has a creamy background, soft blue clouds and the prettiest color of jade green on the sweet little birdies. When the girls walked in after the paper hangers were finished, there were all sorts of oohs and ahhs and even some squeals. :) A very good sign. Gracie called it magical, which was pretty much the perfect compliment. I think it feels pretty magical too.<br /><br />We finished out the edges with just some casing trim (no room for even a short crown) that we painted with left over paint from the bathroom ceiling (Farrow and Ball's Pale Powder). We matched the baseboards too and left the walls white (Benjamin Moore's Chantilly Lace).<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 31.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/31.jpg" /></div><br /><a href="http://www.lowes.com/pd_129531-41309-13200_1z0y29a+1z0ztpm+2z8vm__?productId=3820311&Ns=p_product_qty_sales_dollar|1&pl=1&currentURL=%3FNs%3Dp_product_qty_sales_dollar%7C1%26page%3D1&facetInfo=Contemporary/Modern|$25%20-%20$50" target="_blank">The light fixture</a> was a happy find at Lowes! It was a steal at $30!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 28.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/28.jpg" /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 29.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/29.jpg" /></div><br />The wallpaper was a relatively affordable way to quickly transform this space. I spent almost no money on anything else in the playroom, so I felt good about investing in the couple of rolls and the labor for the paper hangers. I did save a lot of money by prepping the walls myself. We skim coated every surface, including the ceiling, with hot mud and then primed it all. It was a ton of work, but it helped me feel better about hiring out the paper.  And really, we were so out of time, there was no way I could have hung this by myself. Plus it turns out there are all sorts of fancy contraptions the paper hanger used to install the long sheets at this angle. Tricky stuff! Sometimes it's best to leave installation to professionals - precious wallpaper is one of those times I think.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 27.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/27.jpg" /></div><br />I couldn't be happier with this room. We use it all day long and it feels like such a happy, welcoming space where the girls can play and read and work on homework.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo 12.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda014/12.jpg" /></div>

Reader DIY: Fireworks Wall Stencil

Hi guys! - Just a quick update for the locals planning to come to the <a href="http://workshops.homedepot.com/workshops/do-it-yourself-workshops?cm_mmc=socialmedia-_-Blogger-_-DIY-_-DIY-Workshops-Registration-Link" target="_blank">Home Depot DIY Workshop</a> tomorrow. I wanted to clarify that we won't be making the <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2014/07/diy-branch-light.html" target="_blank">lighting DIY</a> I shared last week, although I'd be more than happy to help you find and even make the structure tomorrow at the Tempe store on Baseline. The lighting workshop, which starts at 10:00 am, will be lead by the store's DIY workshop leader and I'll just be there to talk a little bit and mostly just hang out with you all! :) We'll be talking about using different types of lighting and bulbs in your home and sharing tips on how to switch out old lights for more energy-efficient ones. <a href="http://workshops.homedepot.com/workshops/do-it-yourself-workshops?cm_mmc=socialmedia-_-Blogger-_-DIY-_-DIY-Workshops-Registration-Link" target="_blank">Hope you can come</a>!<br /><br />________________<br /><br />I really love getting emails with links to your projects. <a href="http://www.meghanmarymorrow.blogspot.com/2014/06/fireworks-family-room.html" target="_blank">Meghan Morrow</a> sent me this stenciling project she did in her home and I LOVE how it turned out! Her husband is in the Army and they live on base, so they move a lot. She had been dying to use Albert Hadley's Fireworks wallpaper (made by Hinson, distributed by Donghia) in her home for years, but it didn't make any sense for them to invest in that kind of installation.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo Hinson-Fireworks-Wallpaper.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/Hinson-Fireworks-Wallpaper.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /><br /><a href="http://laybabylay.com/thundercat" target="_blank">image</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><img alt=" photo bedding-albert-hadley-fireworks.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/bedding-albert-hadley-fireworks.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">House Beautiful</div><br />Meghan bought a quilting stencil at a craft store and made her own version of the pattern with a sharpie and an X-acto knife!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_0265.jpeg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/IMG_0265.jpeg" style="text-align: start;" /><br /><a name="more"></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_2407.jpeg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/IMG_2407.jpeg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">She mentioned to me it was a little time-consuming, but aren't the results worth it?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo TVRoom.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/TVRoom.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />We've been working on a stenciling project here at my house and I can attest that it can be a little tricky to get crisp lines on every repeat. It seems like the secret though is to not use too much paint and to keep both the stencil and the brush very clean.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo TV_1.jpeg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/TV_1.jpeg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />Remember that mirror project above? Meghan <a href="http://littlegreennotebook.blogspot.com/2012/01/diy-sunburst-mirrors-using-shims.html" target="_blank">used this tutorial</a> to make her own sunburst mirror. So many great DIYs in one place! I'm obsessed with her green curtains, too.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo DSC_6667.jpeg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/ALBUM%2021/DSC_6667.jpeg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />Check out <a href="http://www.meghanmarymorrow.blogspot.com/2014/06/fireworks-family-room.html" target="_blank">Meghan's post</a> for all the details!

Wallpaper in the Entry

<center></center>I love how high the ceilings are in our entry, but it makes it a little bit tricky to decorate in there! The big walls just swallow up even two or three pieces of art stacked on each other.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_5571.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda010/IMG_5571.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_5578.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda010/IMG_5578.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><br />I'm so excited to share more, but at the twelfth hour before the big shoot next week, we have decided to wallpaper the entry! I am <i>beyond excited. </i><br /><i><br /></i><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo mIMG_5559.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda010/mIMG_5559.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><a name="more"></a><br /><i><br /></i>The wallpaper arrived within an hour of the wallpaper hanger today - just in time! We saved a little bit of money by prepping the walls ourselves, but I wish I could have DIYed the whole thing. I've hung wallpaper a bunch of times before and it's usually a doable project, but this was definitely a job for the pros. A big part of it is we are completely out of time and this was a last minute decision, but the bottom line is I get dizzy just thinking about carefully hanging those long sheets on a 18' ladder! It is worth every pretty penny to get to admire from afar on this one! ;)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_5583.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda010/IMG_5583.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img alt=" photo IMG_5576.jpg" border="0" src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd246/jkomenda/jkomenda010/IMG_5576.jpg" style="text-align: start;" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>I can't wait to share the afters, but in the meantime, I'll show you my inspiration photos.
