How to Install Temporary Wallpaper

This wallpaper is so simple and changes up any space easily and affordably. Check out the process below and give it a try for yourself!

What You’ll Need…

  • Wallpaper
  • Utility Knife
  • Scissors
  • Screw Driver
  • Tape measure *optional*

#1 – Prep the Space

Wipe down any surfaces as needed (and then make sure they’re totally dry before proceeding). Then remove any outlet covers, clear the counters and anything else that might be in the way.

#2 “Measure”

As you’ll see in the video, I prefer to cut a size that’s just a little bigger than what I need, and then use my utility knife to cut it exactly to size once I stick it in place. This is the easiest method for me, personally. I could see someone wanting to measure ahead of time and pre-cut out the outlet holes, but that’s too technical for me. So I guess this boils down to personal preference

#3 Adhere to the Wall

The next step would be to peel back the top part of the wallpaper and position it in place. Then, remove the rest of the backing as you continue to guide the wallpaper into place. Once it’s completely lined up with the previous pieces and completely stuck to the wall, go ahead and use a utility knife to cut along the counter and the bottom of the cabinets.

*Pro Tip* Be absolutely sure you overlap each panel by a little bit or they will separate and there will be gaps. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

I was trying to post this with original audio of m I was trying to post this with original audio of me explaining each item and my thoughts on the price etc etc but apparently I don’t have that capability yet on IG… so, enjoy this reel and just know that I had a lot more to say. 😂

I feel like my house is just constantly a mess, no matter how hard I try. Anyone else? It feels like I’m always behind, and to be honest, it bothers me a lot. It overwhelms me and stresses me out. It keeps me from being content and present. Between things constantly being broken (hello middle child) and just too much stuff in general.
Here’s what I’m working on to simplify and calm the chaos.
1. I’ve been removing all toys that don’t get played with often. We currently have magnatiles, Duplos, and race cars out. The rest have been moved to storage in the basement for the moment. We’ll see what we keep as my kids do sometimes notice toys they’re missing and ask for them.
2. I’ve been ruthlessly getting rid of stuff - whether donate or trash. If we don’t absolutely love it, or we have multiples, or no one touches it, or we have a huge pile of random papers and crafts. Gone. 😂 it’s so relieving.
3. I often have artwork and decor laying around because I don’t fully know where it’s going yet. I’ve been removing anything that doesn’t serve a purpose and have been putting it in basement storage. No point having it sit there and clutter. I’ll go get it when I’m ready to hang the picture or use the decor.
4. I’ve been re-assessing where we need more storage. I replaced a dresser that didn’t functional well with a $50 homeschool cabinet from FB marketplace and it’s been so much better.
5. As I remove things from our every day view, I’m noticing the ability to better enjoy the everyday messes and real life, because it isn’t so out of control and overwhelming.

I hope this is encouraging for mamas in the same boat ✨

We spent a lot of time in our front yard, but never really on our porch. I bought this porch paint months ago and finally got it done! Now our porch is a cozy place to sit ✨ Inspired by @mustardseedbeginnings super cute porch.

SO I decided I was going to make my own art for them. I found a fabric remnant at a local thrift store for $0.99 cents and voila. Took all of 5 mins ✨
