#ad✨This room has come such a long way, and the #ad✨This room has come such a long way, and the finishing touch was the wallpaper and fabrics I found on @spoonflower.

I used their peel and stick wallpaper in the reading nook and ordered the same design on cotton fabric to make a pleated lampshade. I chose some other fabrics to make pillows, curtains, and even cover a little ottoman.

It was so nice to be able to use the same pattern for wallpaper and fabric to make the space cohesive, and pick a few other patterns for more finishing touches. It all came together exactly how I imagined.

What do you think?!
