almost didn’t post this because it feels too simpl almost didn’t post this because it feels too simple… but it completely changed this space 🤍 I used a cheap Amazon stencil, a sample pot of paint, and a sponge to fake a wallpaper look in our attic and now it actually feels like a finished room instead of an afterthought. No paste, no commitment, and way more forgiving than I expected. Save this if you want the wallpaper look without the headache Follow me for more DIY ideas like this ✨

We added an L-shaped bench right off the peninsula which made room for more seating without taking up extra space. It looks built in, adds storage, and was way simpler than it sounds. I shared exactly how we built it on my blog if you want to recreate it!
