Chasing Paper Archives

Happy, happy Monday! I’m excited to bring you this week’s giveaway hosted by Chasing Paper!

You may remember them from the closet makeover in the kid’s room. That’s still my favorite closet in the house btw 😉

Chasing Paper creates beautiful, well-designed removable wallpaper. Featuring high quality peel and stick PVC-free fabric, printed with latex inc and uses a non-toxic adhesive. It’s super simple to hang, easy to remove and will stick to nearly any surface. A year and a half later our wallpaper is still going strong, no peeling, tears or scratches to be seen. It’s perfect.

One lucky reader will win 4 panels of Chasing Paper in any design they’d like! Here are a few of my current faves!

Here’s a little shared room/nursery update for you guys…well, sort of. I’m soooo close to being done with the room, so stay tuned on that front. Today I figured I’d tease you all with a little glimpse on how I updated Arden and Baby Deux’s shared closet space.

I put together a little design board with my thoughts. I know, it might be a little bit of an overkill, but it really helps me visualize how a space will turn out in my head.

^{As you’ll remember from my last shared room post, I’m partnering with Land of Nod on some of the room decor. So you’ll see some Land of Nod goodies in here. Also, let me mention the removeable STRIPED black and white wallpaper. It’s AH-mazing you guys. Talk about peel-n-stick, no paint, no mess, no fuss. Love it. And it completely makes the closet, don’t you think?}

^{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.}

On the shelf above the hanging rod, I used these adorable Land of Nod numbered bins. I keep extra swaddles and diapers for the new baby as well as pull-ups for Arden’s during nighttime and naps. And on the very top shelf I have a couple of striped bins from the Container Store that hold extra toys.

The clothes hamper is from Land of Nod and I love how the grass texture plays off the burlap of the numbered bins. And the step stool from Ikea is Arden’s favorite. It’s light enough for her to pick it up and move where ever she needs it, whether to turn on a light switch or reach a higher shelf.

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 😉

Right now we have the heater standing by as well as an extra pack-n-play. Oh and Arden’s overnight bag for her sleepovers at Grandma’s. The top shelf holds an extra toddler potty and a humidifier for those sick nights.

^{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.}
