It’s courtesy of Chasing Paper and it’s called Simple Stripe. The wallpaper is made of PVC-free fabric, printed with latex ink and uses a non-toxic adhesive. Which means no strange (aka toxic) smells at all and it’s good to go straight from the package right to your walls. It took me and the Mr. an hour and a half to install it. It was pretty painless, even for us 😉 And you can easily un-peel it and rehang if you end up installing it a little crooked *ahem* – not that we did that or anything.
Here’s a few boring “before” pictures:
First things first, the closet (and the whole room) received a couple of nice, new coats of paint. I used Lowe’s Valspar Ultra Paint and Primer In One because it’s no VOC and has great coverage. I had Lowe’s mix it up in Benjamin Moore’s Decorators White.
After that we added a couple of my go to closet shelves from Lowe’s. They’re only $12.99. That’s less than the price of most decorative storage bins! They really help differentiate Arden’s side of the closet and Baby Deux’s.
I used these adorable black and white zig zag baskets from Land of Nod and they fit perfectly in the shelves. The green art caddy is from Land of Nod as well. It’s perfect to hold all of those little knick knacks that come along with newborns.
On Arden’s side of the closet, her dresses, coats, skirts are hanging from the original rod on these baby/toddler sized wooden hangers. They’re the same hangers that Mom and Dad use, but smaller. Love that. We use the hangers with clips for her skirts and when she was younger they were perfect for her dresses and matching kick-pants.
In the picture below, you can see how the wallpaper shows a bit of the texture from the wall behind it. It’s really not noticeable in person, but it’s accentuated by the camera flash, but obviously the wallpaper would probably work best on flat walls. Also in this picture you can see the slight seam where one panel of the wallpaper meets the other, it’s barely noticeable.
Baby Deux’s side is still pretty empty, but I’m sure that will change when he arrives! Right now he only has a couple of cold weather bunting suits hanging. We’re ready for the cold weather here in California 😉
I love opening this closet now, it’s so organized and coordinated. I just wish all of the closets in this house were just as pretty! And the closet coordinates with the rest of the nursery, so if I leave the doors open it actually looks good. Might have to remove the doors…still debating on that.

Love the art caddy as a newborn caddy, might need to add this to my changing area! Love the black and white striped wall, I used the same container store bins, but did a gold dot decal on the wall (check out IG @ehayes1183)!

adorable!!! Love the black and white, before and after is awesome! (and I spy some of my fav hand me downs – only for Arden!!) 🙂 hope you are feeling well.
Reichel Broussard says
Yes, those are definitely some rockstar hand-me-downs 😉 And the shoes, Arden loves all those shoes! Especially the gap flats with those big jewels on them. She's OBSESSED. All she wants to wear. I definitely have a shoe-aholic on my hands.

It looks amazing!!! I'm obsessed with that wallpaper…it's exactly what I want on the one wall in our master bathroom. I wonder if it'd say stuck in a damp room like that….
Reichel Broussard says
It would probably be fine, it's pretty sticky! 🙂
