NuWallpaper NU1697 Gypsy Floral Blue/Green Peel & Stick Wallpaper, Blue

The top of my desk & matching bookcase had gotten worn out and slightly damaged due to my putting drinks on the wood directly. Instead of dealing with messy chemicals and resurfacing them, I decided to use a peel and stick contact/wall paper instead to cover the surface and modernize the pieces. It was my first time doing anything DIY like this, so I was nervous how it would come out. But, it worked great! This paper worked beautifully, but did require some careful planning and care to put it down without bubbles. Plus, I had another person to help which was key. We used a small plastic spackel device which we had on hand and that made all the difference. While one person was unrolling the paper down the desk, the other person was using the spackle device help the paper adhere and smooth out the bubbles. Another point to make about this paper (beyond how pretty & modern it is) is that pattern works well if you're trying to match the seams which we did. Unless you look super close, you can't really tell where the seams are on my desk. We used two pieces side by side. This bodes well if you want to put it on the walls which I think would look great.

I can't believe that I just put up wallpaper, which I swore I would NEVER do. Up until a year ago I would have cringed at the word... but no more! I loved this design and wanted something other than paint with more of a design "punch", and this certainly does the trick while also being soft and classy. I also didn't want the commitment (or mess) that comes with permanent wallpaper.I used this wallpaper in our powder room and it completely transformed the space. I put it on the main wall and then painted the other walls a soft green/grey called "Silver Mist". I was able to install the wallpaper by myself, although it was a bit tricky at times. Here are a few tips:1. Measure the wall and cut the wallpaper before putting it up, just be sure to add a couple of inches so you can cut it straight at the bottom.2. Don't pull too hard on the wallpaper because it does stretch. I found myself pulling on it while trying to match the pattern and it made the job more difficult in the end.3. Make sure you have a zippo knife so you can cut it straight at the ceiling and baseboards. And I also used a window squeegee after laying it to remove all of the bubbles and smooth it out.4. Before you even start, wipe down the walls and make sure you don't have any dust or water which could affect the "stick".I haven't had any problems at all with it falling down or shifting- it's been up for about 2 weeks now. I highly recommend it and am excited to try different designs in other rooms! By the way, this job took 2 rolls- remember, you have to match up the pattern at the seams!

I love the way it came out. Going to use it in a couple more areas also!!! So easy to apply and the colors are great!

This was exactly how I hoped it would be. The colors are very pretty and it was pretty easy to apply. I put it on a mirror of a Curial cabinet I was redoing. So far so good!

This wallpaper is even prettier in person. The pattern is elegant and was a great way to add a quick update to my bathroom. Installation was a bit tricky at first (though I had no experience at all) but got easier once I figured it out.

I was happy with the quality of the paper and the print. My project came out really nice. I followed the instructions and papered the inside of two closets. I painted the walls first with flat white paint and let it cure a couple of weeks. The paper has been up for a couple of months now with no problems.

Pretty and easy to work with

I liked the pastel colors in the photo. When it arrived the colors were very bright and pretty, but too bright for my project.
