Fool Me Once

 

 I have always wanted to do this, but the fear sets in and I think it'll be too hard. Excuses, excuses. But, I came across this easy how-to on the nanny goat and their pictures give step-by-step instructions. And, instead of wallpaper  (thinking about trying to hang the wallpaper or trying to remove the wallpaper 10 years later... not fun), this is much easier and achieves the same affect! Or, if you're not into DIY, but want a "faux finish" call a professional muralist. ( Pictured below, hand painted murals by Kluttz-Thompson Designs at Park&Market in Raleigh)
