...because home doesn't happen overnight.

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.*

Congrats to Chloe! She is hoping a little wallpaper will transform her closet-turned-powder room into a hidden gem for guests. What a fun idea!

Wallpaper has come a long way since the days of granny floral. I have seen several recent wallpaper installations by some of my favorite stylists {ahem, Kirsten Grove and Emily Henderson just off the top of my head} that don’t scream “trendy!” and really feel like they could stand the test of time.

WHILE YOU’RE AT IT: I know you’re thinking about it…where would you like to see wallpaper living in your house? We hung removable wallpaper in the boys’ shared bedroom. If we had a powder room {which we don’t} I would totally cover it in something fabulous!

Whenever a H*T reader wins a product or piece of furniture, I’m always curious to see where it ends up in their home. Most of the time I never receive a followup email with images included. I completely understand. These things take time and life is busy. Believe me, I get it. So when this happy lil’ powder room showed up in my inbox last week, I was giddy! Back in the fall of 2013, Chloe won a credit to purchase wallpaper via a giveaway I hosted. She chose Mountains Sunrise by MissPrint and lined the walls of a closet-turned-powder room. The results speak for themselves.
