Wall Treatments

Room1This room was done by Jessica Jones over at How About Orange.  The before picture is a study in beige.  She did a few simple and inexpensive things and made it look fabulous.  I love the idea of stretched fabric on the walls.  What a great way to adore your favorite print.  (She added a tutorial for stretching your fabric on a frame.)

She painted the tree on the wall and then hung leaf pictures.  How cool and 3D is that?  However, if you are terrified of trying to paint the wall yourself, I keep seeing wall decals on design blogs lately.  Elly Nelly offers self-adhesive decals on their Etsy shop .  They are a mother/daughter team and I like their designs a lot.  They range from $25 to $65.  It appears that you can choose from one of 14 colors for each design.  And don't forget you can hang things with your wall decals to add more interest.

Go forth and decorate!

Do you have a fabric or a fabric line you would recommend doing this project with? I really like the idea, but have a hard time telling if a fabric has a large enough print on it to look good on a wall (especially shopping online). Thanks!

Oh my goodness, I love that wall treatment...my head is spinning with ideas, how about one with different leaves, shapes, colors etc...maybe that would defeat the purpose of simplicity? I have a hard time with the less is more philosophy. Thanks about the bag, it's a new design, designed just for that fabric.
