If there's one thing I love, it recreating a space to make our more "our own" and more uniquely ours, I feel that that is something that is specially important no matter where you live, whether you own your home, or if you're like us and rent at the moment. For awhile I absolutely loved the plain white walls, I couldn't get enough of the stark white minimalism and the nothingness, but after almost two years of living here, my tastes started to change and transition to a more homey farmhouse style, I needed something different, something with character, something with texture and something on the walls. Lol.
So when I spotted this stick and peel wallpaper in the AT HOME group on Facebook (that was started by my sweet friend Kristyn Cole of the blog At Home with Kristyn Cole, if you're not already a part of it, you should totally join) and people were saying it was from Target, I was definitely intrigued. I immediately got on Target's website and started searching around and not only did they have the cutest stick and peel wallpaper, but OMG(!) THEY HAD WHITE SUBWAY TILE WALLPAPER! I've been dreaming of having a kitchen with white subway tile for a long time, and now that I have it, I love my little kitchen even more than before! It didn't have a back splash before, behind the sink and counter-top and stove were just plain white walls. My husband had helped me spruce it up behind the sink a few months ago by adding a little shelf (actually a spice rack from IKEA, but totally works for a cookbook nook) and also hanging my favorite white colander up, but I felt it needed something more. So a few weeks ago I took a few hours and installed a "subway tile" back splash! It looks so nice and you can't even tell that it's wallpaper and not real subway tile. My husband came home form work and was like "whoa! It looks so much nicer in here!", and I couldn't agree more.
Frank also helped me install the Devine Color white subway tile wallpaper on one wall in our dining room recently, it makes the room look so much bigger and we just love it! As most wallpaper is, it was a little tricky to install at first, there is a little bit of a learning curve and you have to get the hang go using it, but it doesn't take too long and once you figure it out, it's pretty simple overall. Cut, peel, stick, trim, repeat. Simple enough, and creates a new feel to any space! I also added it to the blank space above our shower in our bathroom recently as well and we're loving it.
We also just installed this this stick and peel wallpaper from Devine Color (available at Target, online and in stores) in our living room! It's a white washed wood plank look and oh so pretty! It really makes the space come alive behind the TV and makes a garet statement wall, we just love it and it has such a beachy look and also a very farmhousey look to it as well, it goes so perfectly with our farmhouse style furniture and decor.
