What does a Sharpie, happy tape, & contact paper all have in common?
They all make great alternatives to wallpaper!
Check out this great chevron wall made out of contact paper at
Wow!
Ever heard of happy tape?
Ever heard of happy tape? Check out this gorgeous entryway, made completely out of tape!
Have you ever thought of using a Sharpie to "draw" on your wallpaper?
Don't have a steady hand?
Use a large stencil......
A gold Sharpie was used here, they come in a wide variety of colors.
Wallpaper is such a commitment.
I just might have to try this myself somewhere!

Looks like wallpaper right?
Nope, it's done with a Sharpie and an overhead projector!
Wallpaper is such a commitment.
If you don't like it after you get it up, or if it peels, or goes out of style, it's really hard to take down.
With Sharpie wallpaper, you can just paint right over it!

I am all over the Happy Tape...just wonder how easy it is to use. I will soon find out. I will post results on my upcoming "before and after" bedroom.
Thanks for the fabulous tip!!! ~ M
Such a great collection of projects! That chevron wall is gorgeous! I used black electrical tape in my master closet to create a chevron stripe wall! I agree that alternatives to wall paper make it much easier to change your mind and redecorate!
The Sharpie idea has me a fascinated. My only concern would be if paint would be able to cover it up when I changed my mind.
Creativity at it's best!!
Red Door~there is primer blocker that allows you to change your mind on just about everything!!

Those are all gorgeous, but I'm afraid I don't have the patience to do it.
Each are beautiful. I'd hate to see me w/ a sharpie...no steady hand here. Great ideas!
This is amazing...and I am equally in awe of whatever steady hands got the job done, because it looks amazing!!!! Who would have thought!
I love that idea, because I hate wall paper. I change my mind so often, there is no way I could have it. Great pictures!
I Love these ideas!
I have always been a huge wallpaper fan but it makes so much sense to do these fun and fabulous ideas for jut the reasons you listed! (I spent a good deal of the weekend stripping off wallpaper to only replace it next week or so I thought!)
Your inspiration had me thinking...
Than you so much!
This is really easy to do. Several years ago, a friend and I did a children's classroom using the overhead projector and a Sharpie. We used large cartoon-style drawings from a coloring book, and then painted them with acrylics. It was so festive and fun!

What a great idea! I especially love the chevron, I've got a bit of a chevron thing going on at the moment...
So creative...love it.
This is brillant! I LOVE this idea!! Esp a gold sharpie! LOVE!!
So neat...wow thanks Linda
oh, i love this! i have a huge empty expanse over my bed, and i need something to fill it. i think it'll be something like this (but on canvas, cause i'm in a rental!)
WOW! That is brillant. And that bedroom is beautiful as is, but creating that focal wall is even better.

hooray, your writings on theater and writing much missed!
I adore a your "wallpaper". Mine would turn out to be a hot mess. I get nervous and make mistakes, when I use sharpies. There would be smudge marks all over. Not a pretty sight. Congratulations, yoursr is gorgeous!
Holy Crap...those are all gorgeous! For real! Can't wait to go see how they were all done...
Keep the faith, my Internet friend.
