Happy Monday! I hope you had a GREAT weekend. Mine involved going to the international New York Times Travel Show in Jacob Javits Center, I kept eyeing the rock climbing wall but didn’t have my adventure shoes on so didn’t go for it (next time!). Today’s post asks the question … What to do with left over wallpaper? Hmmm, how about pasting them to your ceiling! Yes ‘ceiling’ instead of your wall. That is exactly what Blenda from Blenda Studio did. Check out her masterpiece below:
Above photo is what you see when you look at her ceiling. So who is Blenda? She’s an artist, a painter, a DIYer, and author of Blenda Studio Blog. To create the ceiling she used vintage 1940s wallpaper samples and had a very helpful assistant who pasted as Blenda handed over the strips of paper! Checkout Blenda’s post here. Thank you to Blenda for showing us this oooh sooo wonderful design!

Hi Ada, What fun to see my vintage wallpaper ceiling project posted on your wonderful blog! I love your energy…it really comes through in your writing. The best of everything, ~Blenda
Your welcome Blenda, and thank U again for sharing such a great idea, inspiring us to look at our ceiling ‘differently’ = creatively!!!
Love the idea! The ceiling looks great. I’m just not sure I’ll have the patience
I think it would get messy if ‘I’ attempted to paste wallpaper on the ceiling; but perhaps it would be easier with a helper that we can bribe with pizza + a very TALL ladder!
Yes, I couldn’t have done this project without a helper…oh and caution do not attempt pasting wallpaper to your ceiling dressed in your good clothes…it does get very messy and gluey.
The end result is worth it though and have had so many compliments on it!
~Blenda
The end result is definitely a beautiful WOW!
