""I could have stripped [the wallpaper] all back, but I was trying to be cost-effective," Callieanne says. "The wallpaper was in excellent condition, so I didn't see a problem in painting over, and it worked out so well." (Perhaps also wise if you're someone, like Callie, who likes to switch up the vibe of a room often. If she tires of this paint color, she can remove the wallpaper and the paint all in one.)"
""The bedroom already had several great things going for it, like the wardrobe from Facebook Marketplace. Callieanne made decor swaps: a new sconce with shades she made herself by wrapping old cushion-cover fabric around plain beige shades, a chair she reupholstered herself (which was the hardest part of the bedroom transformation, especially getting the stripes to line up), and curtain panels she bought and sewed extra fabric onto \"to create a frill.\"""
Callieanne transformed a former home office into a cocooning guest bedroom by painting directly over existing wallpaper to save cost. She painted the walls and ceiling in a pink-meets-tan shade called Piglet for a full color drench. Fabric updates included DIY sconce shades wrapped with cushion-cover fabric, a reupholstered striped chair, and curtain panels extended with sewn fabric frills. A wardrobe sourced from Facebook Marketplace remained as a functional focal point. Carpet will be removed later to attempt floor restoration, but the current combination of paint and textile details achieves an immediate, completed, cozy atmosphere.
