Tempaper Small DIY Project

Tempaper

I’m a member of a group of talented bloggers, Bay Area Home. We all live in the San Francisco Bay Area and we all have home decor blogs. Recently, we were approached by a company, Tempaper who makes temporary wallpaper. All of us had the opportunity to choose our own paper and write a blog post about the challenge. I find it so interesting that you can give everyone the same project and the end results are so different and amazing. So, make sure you check out all our projects,

Alright, our entertainment center in our living room used to be a honey walnut color (Living Room Remodel), and when we remodeled our home, we had it painted white. I’ve always felt that it was a little bit too white and needed some touches of color to brighten up the space. When Tempaper approached me to use their temporary wallpaper, I was delighted about using it in our entertainment center. I felt it would be the perfect solution to the room. It was pretty obvious that I should pick the Tempaper Zee Honey Wheat Chevron for the space, but, of course, the bold design was going to make a bold statement. I eventually got over my little fear and got to work on the project.

~ A Little Note About the Nester ~
On our first home that we owned, I installed wallpaper in every room and hallway! Looking back, I probably would still like my choices of paper.

Here is some information from Tempaper in regards to the application and process:
1. We always recommend two people for the job.
2. Apply to a wall that has a satin/semi-gloss painted surface. If you apply to a wall painted in a matte finish, you run the risk of Tempaper adhering to the wall and upon removal taking some of the paint off of the wall. 
3. Make sure you have all of your tools before you start.
4. Give yourself time.
5. It is Not recommended that it can be re-used.
6. We do suggest overlapping the paper just a bit from panel to panel to avoid splitting seams in environments that can be subjected to temperature variances.

At the beginning of the project, I decided to find out if the paper looked ok in the entertainment center. I just hung it up, so I could get a general feel if the paper was right for the room. I will do this a lot with my projects, just temporarily hang or tape the decor in place. I also took this photo so I would have a better visual idea of how it would look. I loved the Tempaper in this room, so I went ahead and started to install the paper.

So basically, I used a right angle ruler, measuring tape, pencil, scissors and a little ladder. I measured my space and then measured the paper. I made sure to cut the paper a tiny bit longer since it is best to be longer than shorter.

The process of putting up the paper is alright, I found getting the air bubbles out was probably the hardest part. I tried using a squeegee, plastic ruler and finally my fingers. I found working it with my hands was the best. It does take some time and effort, but I really believe it was worth it. In my opinion, the paper is similar to contact paper but it doesn’t stick to itself and is a bit easier to manipulate.

Adding a fun temporary wallpaper to our living room was a fun project for me, and I’m thoroughly enjoying the results. It is an easy way to change up a room and not spend a whole heck of a lot on the project. I decorated the entertainment center since our walls have a slight orange peel surface. If you have smooth walls, you might consider this fun and easy solution of adding an accent to your rooms. Let me know if you like this post and would like to try this project. 
Cheers,
