I am back with my progress on the One Room Challenge. To refresh your memory, this is a twice a year blogger event hosted by Linda at Calling It Home, that consists of 20 featured designers and hundreds of guest design bloggers showcasing a room makeover that they have to complete in just 6 weeks.
In my last post, I shared my current craft space and overall plan for the makeover.
You can catch up on that HERE.

This week, I am sharing an accent wall for the area behind my desk using removable vinyl. I like the concept of removable wallpaper, but not the process of hanging it, so I decided to DIY a pattern using my Cricut and 3 colors of vinyl.

Supplies Needed for Vinyl Accent Wall:
Removable vinyl
Cricut StrongGrip mat
I chose three coordinating colors (navy, teal, and silver) and selected a geometric print in Cricut DesignSpace. I customized the image and added a few more triangles to use up the entire piece of vinyl. Once I was happy with the image, I welded it together so it would cut exactly as I had it laid out on the screen. Once the cut was complete for all three sheets, I removed the excess vinyl from around the triangles so I was left with a page of stickers.
I just started placing the triangles randomly on the wall, layering some of them. Once the wall was filled up, I moved a few around to fill in any empty spaces. Then, I placed the items back on the shelves and moved a few more of the triangles around. When I get tired of the wall, I can simply remove the vinyl and start over!

OK. This wall is too cool. I think I gotta get me one of those little machines. I would have shapes all over the house. LOL... LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie! It turned out better than I thought and was so much easier than wall paper!
DeleteOh wow this is SO cool! I love the way you designed and printed these! I need one now haha
ReplyDeleteThank you! They turned out better than I envisioned! (p.s.The Cricut is amazing!!!)
DeleteWhat a creative idea to add a geometric custom pattern to your walls. This little machine is so handy.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I had seen bloggers paint a pattern on walls instead of wallpaper and this seemed like an easier and less permanent option!
DeleteThis looks great! I love the random pattern. I used my cricut to cut out peonies and did the same thing to my daughter Sienna's room in our last house with gold vinyl.
ReplyDeleteRandom requires much less work than a measured pattern, so I took that route. LOL! Oh I bet that is pretty! I want to tackle more rooms!
DeleteThis is such a cute idea! Your space is looking great!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the pop of color it added!
DeleteThis is looking so good. I need that machine.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The Cricut is awesome! You can do so much with it!
