Ever since I posted the “Before & After” post on covering my wall-to-wall mirrors with removable wallpaper, I’ve received several emails and questions regarding the options. (You can read the post here). I’m so glad you asked! Using temporary wallpaper is a great way to add personal style to any area of your home without making a full-blown commitment. This is a perfect alternative for renters, kids’ rooms and for those designers that consider their homes a work-in-progress and are always changing their homes. Uhm, me… Here is your guide to temporary wallpaper!

Looking for temporary wallpaper on your search engine can get a little convoluted. You may want to use some of these terms in your search engine; temporary wallpaper, removable wallpaper, wall tiles, wall decals, peel n’ stick tiles, wall stickers, wall murals. The list goes on but these are the most popular names. If you want to cover a large space or an accent wall, I recommend you use the wall tiles or the murals. The decals and stickers tend to be smaller in scale and are usually in the shape of an object or words/phrases.

There are many options when it comes to temporary wallpaper. Solid colors, patterns, prints, words, borders and they all have one thing in common. They are easy to install and easy to remove. You don’t need to call a professional and no adhesive or scraper is necessary. Some other great uses for temporary wallpaper include adhering it to a piece of furniture like a tabletop, or as a backdrop inside bookshelves, sticking it to a wall niche, and even attaching it to kitchen appliances! You can put these stickers just about anywhere!

Where to find temporary wallpaper?
Here are some of my favorite online stores that offer fabulous temporary wallpaper: Chasing Paper, Wallpops!, Spoonflower, Design Your Wall & 2Modern. Their designs have all been shown on this post. You can click on the images and it will take you directly to the item’s location on the site. Decals are also available in a store near you! I’ve found that the best selections are in Target and Ikea. Take this Jonathan Adler Decal from Target, for example. So pretty!
My apartment is made up of various DIY projects. Covering the dining room wall-to-wall mirror was no exception. The only thing that I liked about the mirror was that it reflected the light and greenery from the outdoors but that wasn’t enough of a reason to leave it up. I rent this apartment so obviously I couldn’t tear down the damn thing. Sooo, I covered it. How, you ask? With removable wallpaper. Genius!

Hello amigos!!
This past Saturday May 4th 2013 I had the fabulous opportunity to be in the presence of the Art of the Party author and incredibly talented event planner Mr. David Stark! Thanks to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami, for which David designed their 15th anniversary event, David held a an intimate discussion with several of his fans and aspiring event planners. As an audience member I immediately felt comfortable around David. Bright, humble, mellow but casual and cool. What’s not to like about that?! He then proceeded to show us pictures of some of his events and the truly artistic and inspirational work that goes behind the scenes. It is a team of 33 and then about another 65 more freelancers that help make the vision a reality and David doesn’t hesitate for a moment to credit his team for all the hard work. In the end, his mission is to be able to accomplish the goal he set forth for the event while staying within budget and making all guests and patrons happy. Success!
David has been planning the Gala event for the Robin Hood Foundation in New York for 11 years now. He says, “When you’re doing an event for 4,200 people, sometimes it feels like you’re trying to put lipstick on a pig. (Laughs) I’m always up for a challenge.” And what a challenge! Here are some of the pictures from one of his Robin Hood events from previous book David Stark Design.
If you hadn’t heard of David Stark before and you have an interest in event planning and/or art, I highly recommend you purchase his books! They are filled with ideas, concepts and thought provoking eye candy.
I don’t remember exactly how I came across David Stark’s work but I do know it was either one of the following; 1) I saw his paper flowers at West Elm and then I bought his book David Stark Design or 2) vice versa, bought the book and then saw the flowers at West Elm. Either way, this was right around the time when I started planning my wedding back in the Spring of 2011. I immediately fell in love with the paper flowers and decided to somehow incorporate our version of the flowers for my wedding. My mom and my aunts ended up getting together one evening and started cranking out hundreds of paper flowers like the ones in this picture below. We ended up placing them on the plate settings.
So now you’ve seen some of his work and you surely you must be in awe! Isn’t it so beautiful and astonishingly creative? That’s how my crush with David Stark’s art started. Now, with his new book The Art of the Party coming out on May 7th we can all enjoy more of his amazing work. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Thanks for reading!
