Temporary Wallpaper makes a big splash in a home office
Today I’m back with my friends Mary Ann and Cindy with our favorites of the week. I got a little carried away with how much I love Tempaper peel-and-stick-removable wallpaper and I am sharing five ways I used it this week. It started with wallpapering one wall in my office. I spend a lot of time in my office and making it a space that brings me so much joy, made a lot of sense. Once we wallpapered, the rest just fell into place.
Four ways we used Tempaper Rick Rack Stripe Wallpaper designed by Nesting with Grace
I chose Rick Rack Stripe that was designed by my friend Brooke Christen of Nesting with Grace. Brooke designed a line of temporary wallpapers for Tempaper, and each one is so perfectly Brooke, but also very adaptable to many different styles and purposes. I used photos of my kids, my collection of pink Glassybaby votives, and the art they created when they were very young to complete the space. Today I’m sharing how it made my office a place I love to be and how I used the leftover pieces in a few creative ways!
Brooke said the RickRack Stripe design was inspired by Mudcloth, which of course, I love, and the colors are perfect. Gold can be tricky, but she got it just right! I love how it looked on one wall in Brooke’s family room and knew that it would look perfect in my office. The art is all kids’ art from when mine were little, and somehow, it’s all in my favorite colors of orange and yellow, which works beautifully with the Aztec Gold. You can read Brooke’s post here!
Stikwood & Tempaper make it Cozy
I added a chair on each side of the desk. When my son was home from college over the holidays he would come to stand in the doorway and talk. Once I moved a chair into my office, he stays longer….which of course I love!

1. Office Makeover
Tempaper is a temporary wallpaper. It’s perfect for homeowners and renters. It’s not messy to install, and taking it down is even easier. It doesn’t leave anything behind on the wall, so renters enjoy it and then remove it when you leave, and no one will even know! It’s amazing how one wall adds so much warmth to space. I spend a lot of time at my desk, and every time I see it, it makes me happy! What space can you imagine using it…to bring you some happiness!?

4. Gift wrap and tags
Using Tempaper for gift wrap might be my favorite thing! I cut shapes using craft punches and the back removes easily so that you can apply it to a gift or punch a small hole and use it as a tag with some twine. Bar soap from Young Living is one of my favorite products…and I love to give them as gifts. Wrapping a box of soap is easy and fun! Read more about why we love essential oils in this post.

EVERYTHING THING LOOKS WONDERFUL……………I had a SON here last night for a quick dinner!NOTHING BETTER TO HAVE THEM AROUND.I was MASKED UP AS HE JUST GOT OFF A PLANE from CONNECTICUT!He said it was so pretty to wake up with snow on the ground and in the trees…….but that is disappears very fast!
Elizabeth! Billy Balls are the color of your kitchen, right? How fun that your son was able to come for dinner! He was in Connecticut??
Well done. So much work. I think I’ll take a rest. I love how you creatively use the wallpaper. You’re ready for Christmas or a great birthday party.
Sandra! My house was a complete wreck on Friday when I was trying to take photos before it got dark…But yes, I think this will be incorporated into all gift wrap in the near (and maybe not so near) future! haha
I need an office makeover….it’s serious! loving the shelves for paint, which I have strewn around. Thanks Annie for this inspiration

Debra, these shelves are the best! They are the restaurant supply store shelves and I have them above my coffee bar too!
Annie,
I’ve been wanting to try removable wallpaper for some time. I check this out.
I’m also interested in essential oils. I’ll have to try them soon.
xo,
Karen
Karen! I sent you a mask spray today! You’ll have to let me know what you think! xx
Oh my gosh your Sunday Faves always make me embarassed of mine. I love the idea of temporary wallpaper. That is the reason I have never gotten on the wallpaper bandwagon for me personally. I know I would tire of it. This is such a great option and it looks amazing. You are the DIY queen. I am in awe.
I love your office! I am so inspired. I need a home office makeover desperately. I may have to purchase some wallpaper to use for gift wrap.
You are brilliant. I am going to definitely use some of these ideas!!!
You have some wallpaper that would be perfect for a few of these projects! xx
I’m very curious about this brand. We put up a big beach mural in my teen’s room with temporary wallpaper. There were some bubbling issues. Did you experience that at all?
Annie, I love your office! It’s very you. What a dream space to work in with the pretty walls, your inspiration board and all your goodies beautifully organized. I like the special photos and the kid’s artwork! So inspiring. The tempaper is lovely and cool how you used it in so many creative ways! Happy weekend. xo Kim
Thank you kim! There’s a lot of stuff packeting into this space, but I do love it!
