Whether you’re sending one off to a college dorm, setting up a first apartment or just want to do a little back-to-school update, peel and stick wallpaper may be the place to start your scheming. We did a little bit of this over the weekend in my oldest daughter’s room. When she wanted shelves to display all of her things, this is not exactly the way I envisioned it. . .
Before we started organizing, we decided to pop a little pattern onto the back with removable wallpaper we found online at The Home Depot. There are a ton of peel and stick options on their site, plus free delivery with purchases of $45 or more–or free in-store pick at your local store. (Returns are free, too.) We landed on this emerald green and pink block print designed by the Novogratz.
I’ve said it before but the very best thing about this kind versus traditional wallpaper is that you can actually pull it right off and reposition it if you mess up, making installation (and eventually removing it) a breeze. In fact, my 13-year-old did most of this project by herself. She basically told me I was getting in her way. . .
The other nice part of this update is that we used less than a roll of wallpaper. A pretty doable change for $37. Here are a few other ways you might use a small amount of peel and stick paper to update a dorm room, bedroom or work area:

Love that idea and the encouragement to be able to do it. We have a tall (10 feet) ceiling in our little power room with really high, white bead board. I’ve been thinking of doing the wallpaper thing up there but wondered if it’d be doable or not. My husband was super turned off of doing any more wallpaper after doing that in several of our prior houses years ago. MAYBE he’d be onboard for this type!
So cute! I love that she took on her own project! And, why do bookshelves always end up looking like that? Moms start off with the best intentions. Years ago I did fabric with liquid starch on the back of a bookshelf and it was still pristine after four years! I just gave it to my sister and she sprayed some water on the fabric and it came right off. Another cost-friendly idea. Thanks for being “real” with your daughter’s bookshelf!
Yes–fabric is a great idea. We did a wall once in our old house and it was much easier than I expected.
Just noticed the “For Such a Time as This” Bible storybook on your daughter’s shelf! that was a project my team created at B&H Publishing! Hope your daughter enjoyed it!
Oh how neat! Such a great book for girls.
