added by decordemon to DIY Project: Vintage Book Wallpaper
First up, you've gotta decide on the proper room for this project. Kitchens and bathrooms? Hell no — in fact, consider all wet spaces totally off limits. Guest rooms, offices or reading nooks? Yes, please. For my own little typographyfest, I chose a bachelor's attic which is used for quiet escapes. I'll tell you what would have made it even quieter: Having a handyman come fix the extremely loud squeaks from the old floor boards.

Skip expensive wallpaper rolls for this low-cost alternative. Brian Patrick Flynn shows you how to cover a space in pages cut from old books.
added by Vanessa Brunner to Which Wallcovering Is Right for You?
I love the look of this crafty wallpaper. The great thing about this project (besides being extraordinarily cheap — just make a quick trip to a used bookstore) is that the messier it is, the better it looks. With more traditional wallpaper, you have to be extremely careful to match the pattern strip by strip as you're hanging it (which is much trickier than it sounds). Collaging your wall with various types of paper is not only a completely customizable look, but allows for a greater margin of error.
