Losing My Oranges

I had a few scraps of the red fairy flower left over from the accent wall I did in my living room. I thought they'd be a perfect way to "upgrade" the orange lamp shades on a pair of lamps I had in the living room. The orange and red were not really working together... And, I needed some lamps in my bedroom. So...

I just cut two rectangles of wallpaper, sprayed adhesive on to the shades, smoothed the paper down, and then used an exacto knife to cut out the shape. I'm didn't actually follow the directions on the adhesive spray bottle exactly, but they look great and seem to be working well. The best part? No more clashing orange for no money!

Above was the before version...

I've been trying to figure out how else to spruce up my bedroom. I'm pretty pleased with these jewelry knobs from Casalinga that I just put up today. I think they are a great way to display jewelry as art. The only issue is that I really actually want to do an accent wallpapered wall. Is there such a thing as too much wallpaper? :)

I know this has nothing to do with what you put up.... Though, I enjoyed scrolling through all of your pictures.....
Where do the wallpaper designs come from? Is it possible to freelance design for the company? I have a billion ideas.
Thanks!
