Chloe’s big girl room makeover with peel and stick wallpaper.

**Thank you to Love Vs. Design for sponsoring this post.**

Six months into our home and we officially have one room done! We promised the girls that their rooms would be the first to be fully transformed into everything they could dream of. There is something about a little girls room that just makes the space so darn dreamy and with Chloe almost being three, being fully potty trained, and now out of a crib we knew she deserved her own little space first.

I obviously have a very distinct style with my neutrals and light tones but I always make it a point to make the girls’ rooms 90% them with me heavily persuading them the last 10% with furniture and placement of things. Aside from that their room is all them. It’s very important to me that they also love they space they’re in. Even at two!

When asking Chloe what she wanted in her new big girl room, she said, “I want flowers, pink, and soft things.” Outside of that my focus is storage for toys and what else I can do to make it fun. Now, I have always wanted in some way to incorporate wallpaper in some type of way in one of the girls’ rooms. It just so happened that a few days after ordering Chloe’s twin bed that Love vs Design reached out wanting to work together. Talk about having a dream bedroom!!!

Love vs. Design is a wallpaper company with the most dreamiest peel and stick murals and wallpapers. The best part is that all the designs are fully customizable. Like fully 100% customizable. I was able to order a sample of a color option I thought I would like and I actually ended up tweaking it for the final piece. Sometimes seeing colors through a screen doesn’t always give the most accurate shades.

my design and color choice

Love vs. Design has the most beautiful floral prints. Chloe wanted flowers so I knew that was what I had to do. I narrowed my three choices down to the ones below. I spent hours playing with the colors they had available and saved all the designs comparing them.

The pattern both Chloe and I liked best was the Terracotta Flowers. It didn’t as busy as the other two and I knew we would be doing some other wall prints in the room. The background color is ‘Light’, the flower center is ‘Banana’, and the flower petals themselves are ‘Ceramic’! Below I have a photo of the final wallpaper and the sample we chose. Changing the colors helped tremendously!

The original design is on the left and the updated design is on the right! The pop of yellow totally made the print!

Here is the original piece again. The color chart shown is what we used to change things up. Seeing it in person is soo different than on a screen and I highly recommend taking advantage of this option.

install

I recommend having an extra set of hands on installation. I was able to get everything done myself just fine but it also took me a little over three hours to do a 14ft wall. The pieces come in two foot wide strips and the pieces are just really big haha. In some areas I peeled a little too much off and the piece actually ended up sticking together and created a little crease, but this again was because I was doing it myself and desperately needed a second set of hands.

The prep needed for this is seriously the most crucial. Inside each purchase is a sheet with all the instructions and a major step-by-step. The day prior I took a damp cloth to wipe the walls down and get any dust I couldn’t see. The morning of I took 70% rubbing alcohol and wiped the walls down a couple more times. Just to really make sure it’s clean! One thing I would have done differently was take a high grit sand paper to the walls and really make sure they were as smooth as possible for application.

If you go the route of ordering a sample piece (I highly recommend) save it before application as a practice piece. I was so happy I did that because I have never installed wallpaper before. I also used that sample as a practice piece when taking a blade to it and cutting the access off. Sounds silly to practice but it was super helpful since the wallpaper cut like fabric and you had to apply the perfect amount of pressure.

Love vs. Design made every bit of this process so personal which is another reason I’m just so obsessed with this company and will absolutely be choosing them in the future. It was super cool seeing my name on all the pieces. Something so simple but it was really cool! Along with install, the bottom of each sheet is numbered in the order it goes up. The Terracotta flowers pattern needed to overlap in order for the pieces to match up and had there not been a number on the bottom I would be so lost.

In all, I am so happy with this design, the process, the company, and how happy my little babe is with her new room. Not a stranger is allowed through our home without a full tour. I find myself walking into her room and staring more than I should.
