Polly’s wallpaper was installed over the last couple days and I’m so excited to share photos today, along with a few other favorites right now! I first fell for this paper just a couple months ago, and I knew it would be so perfect for her space. I shared a sneak peak of the wallpaper in Casual Friday a few weeks ago, but nothing can compare to a whole surround-wallpaper reveal.
Isn’t this the wallpaper of every child’s dreams? Just mine? Polly’s favorite part are the unicorns (shh…they’re actually horses, but I think I’m going to paint a gold horn on a few). This paper was installed at a half drop, so that the pattern feels more like a mural around the entire room instead of so repeated. But, every inch of this wallpaper is filled with playful illustrations, that I’ll never get tired of looking at, and to me that’s what makes it so timeless.
Almost everything else in her room came with us from our last home, except the lumbar pillow and the new light fixture! I knew this crown light fixture would be perfect for her room the second I saw it online, and now that it’s up it’s giving me major Where The Wild Things Are storybook vibes.
There’s still more we want to do in this room, but the wonderful thing about a wallpaper with a lot of interest is that it pulls double duty as art. I decided to keep all the trim, doors, and windows white, and eventually get some really beautiful custom roman shades in maybe a light blue with trim. We’d also love to add a dresser, a little chair (I think we’re finally ready to retire the rocker) and a rug…VERY VERY SOOOOON ;). I have a feeling that Polly’s going to be falling asleep while watching these storybook characters come alive, and that just warms my heart.

What does it mean to install wallpaper at “half drop?”
Hi Julia! This room is looking magical, I can’t wait to see what else you add to it. :) I would also love any tips you have for tween/teen girl rooms. My daughter is 13 and I just can’t get my head around what to do with her space. Help! xx
I’ll be working on Greta’s room in the coming months–she’s 11 so stay tuned!
This room is what dreams are made of! I’m so glad your little girl loves it. And I learned something new: the half-drop technique. Although I don’t quite understand how you know you want to do it. I’m going to check it out on YouTube.
So pretty and full of light. Love it. Would you kindly explain what a half drop is? I’m not sure I’ understand how it works. Thx
