DIY Wallpaper

A funky wallpaper can works wonders and enhance any living space. However if you are strapped for cash then take a look at this DIY project on the blog Curbly. It’s both eco and pocket-friendly.

How to Fab Your Walls

It’s all about experimenting with what you’ve got. Look around your space, or a friend’s. You can use almost anything:

* Pages from an old book: I couldn’t sell back my outdated Norton Anthologies, so I’m prepping those wafer thin pages to cover a column in 17th century poetry. There’s like, 2000 pages in all.
* Postcards from the edge: If you’re someone whose friends and family travel to ooh-la-la places and send good pics, use them.
* Greeting cards: Sort them by dominant color, (cut them up if you’re not sentimental) and create your own David Hockney-esque masterpiece
* CDs/DVDs: You don’t really need that outdated Windows Install CD do you? Declutter as you design by taking those cast-off CDs from home and the office and paint them to create a geometric border or wall treatment. It will look like, totally groovy.
* Sheet music: So lyrical and artsy
* Office swag: If you’re the type to bring work home, why not do something cathartic with those oh-so-colorful TPS reports? Or try the Business Card Art Wall idea we posted earlier.
