I had my plan and items now I needed to execute. I tried to find someone that knew how to wallpaper. Which was must more difficult then it should be. Frankly, wallpaper hanging is like a lost art. I know my strengths and doing it alone was not a bright idea. So I enlisted the help of two dear friends that are good at precision (Not my ministry. lol)

I watched a few you tube videos and created a list of tools. The glue and tools to wall paper only cost about $30. My plan was to cover all the walls. But just in case I would start with the feature wall a make a determination from there.

Once the paper was up. It was about redressing the room. I realized that my shoes would have to leave the room to maintain the functionality of it being a guest room and office.

Several weeks ago I purchased the Crochet Trim Linen Blend Comforter from Target by Rachel Ashwell on the clearance for only $26. I previously purchased pillows and throw blanket in the golden rod color from the Crate  & Barrel outlet. 

I tried out another rug that I got on super sale but quickly realized the patterns fought against one another. I wanted to layer in texture, but keep things relatively mild because the wallpaper is so graphic. I shopped my house for art and curated accessories.

I ordered new knobs from for the vintage mustard dresser in matte black to coordinate with the curtain rod.  I often find great deals for pulls and knobs on Amazon for under $30. This time was no exception. I purchased 10 of the Cosmos Flat Black Contemporary Round Cabinet Knob Diameter 1-1/4 on Amazon for $24.95.  Knobs are a cheap change to making old furniture feel new.

My old styling days came back to me and I color coordinated my books (lol). I got a great deal on the the Billy Bookcases from Ikea via Craigslist. I have a few more minor tweaks but I have a guest this weekend and I think she will love the room.
