Wallpaper accent wall!

So Christmas was good to me AGAIN. In addition to curtains from Mom and Dad, my darling sibling, Ronnie, got me wallpaper for my accent wall in my bedroom. 

I knew I wanted a Damask pattern, similar to my old bedspread:

I found some reasonably priced wallpaper from www.stevesblindsandwallpaper.com.

Since my mom is the wallpaper master, I needed her help for this task.  I'm not gonna lie, she did most of the work.  Why mess with perfection?

Regardless, you need some shit to wallpaper:

-long brush with short bristles (to get out bubbles)
-wooden roller (to seal edges)
-tons of razor blades
-scissors
-patience

The paper was pre-pasted, so all we had to do was get it wet.  Even though Mom did most of the work (as I politely assisted), doing only one wall is pretty simple.  I had a large pattern, so there was a lot of wasted paper, so keep that in mind.  But other than that, there were no corners or anything to make life difficult.  Here is the end product:

My room feels so elegant!!

Things I learned:

1. Don't "wing it" in figuring out how much you need.  I was so lucky! 
2. Wallpaper rips! So be careful!
3. Mom is awesome.
