Wood Patterned Wallpaper

Here’s to all my outdoorsy folk…Bring the weathered, outdoor look inside with the Dutch design firm Studio Ditte’s Scrapwood wallpaper. Studio Ditte copied the beauty of scrap wood to wallpaper.

Sky Planter

Designed in New Zealand this planter is turning gardening on its head. The Sky Planter allows you to look up and enjoy the beauty of plants from a unique perspective. The creators describe this as ‘A revolutionary reservoir system which feeds water gradually to the plant’s roots. This conserves water and saves you time…a simple locking disc holds the plant and soil in place allowing you to use your Sky Planter indoors, leaving your surfaces mess-free.” Who wouldv’e thunk?

I love color but if you’re averse to it, you can’t go wrong with stylish black and white: classic.

Of course, this wallpaper by Graphic Designer Lisa Bengtsson is a must…

Love the fact that you can add your own photos or images and tailor make your own individual wallpaper.

Wallpaper is hot right now, and here’s a way to get the look fast.
If you love the look of wallpaper, but find it a little overwhelming, try this easy technique to create art from wallpaper. Simply cover 12-inch x 36-inch sheets of STYROFOAM* Brand Foam with wallpaper, and hang as many or as few as you’d like.

Crafting Time: 1 – 2 hours plus drying time

STYROFOAM™ Brand Foam Sheets, 36-inch x 12-inch x 1-inch, 3

Traditional Wallpaper, 1 Roll

Grosgrain or Velvet Ribbon, 1-inch, 2 ¾ yards per panel

Yardstick or Ruler

Scissors

Straight Pins

Poster Adhesive or Small Sawtooth Hangers & Nails

Low-Temp Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Thick White Craft Glue

Instructions

Cut three 12-inch x 36-inch panels from wallpaper, taking note of desired design placement.

Spread thick coat of white glue on back of first piece and press to foam sheet; smooth with fingers and let dry. Meanwhile, glue remaining wallpaper panels to foam sheets. Let dry completely.

Beginning and ending at one lower corner, use glue gun to secure ribbon around edges of each foam sheet; trim excess, allowing a bit of overlap.

Use poster adhesive to attach to wall. Or, glue sawtooth hangers to back of each panel; for additional hold, insert and glue two straight pins through holes in sawtooth picture hanger; let dry.
