I saved this picture about a year ago from
(I didn't ask her if I could use the picture because at first I didn't know the name of the blog!) Hope she doesn't mind! This girl has got it going on! And I love, love, love all these book pages covering the wall! I use book pages and sheet music on a lot of my furniture redo's! If I had the guts I would do this in my house! Not sure how hard it would be to get off if you got tired of it! Who knows maybe I will try it!

I immediately recognized the picture! It belongs to my friend Karla Nathan, her blog is http://www.karlascottage.typepad.com/
I just love her style!
Very inspiring and I love your new background!
What a great idea. I would try it if I could find anything like that around here to put on the wall. What exactly did she use, is it a particular kind of book?
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
oh you totally have the guts girl! Don't even try to tell us you might not have 'guts'!! you totally have it going on as well ~seriously......:) Love your style & Karla's....I was lost in her blog for about an hour the other day. She's amazing!

I love the book pages too!
It's been a while since I have been by to visit! You are still posting fabulous posts as always! I see you still have the love for JUNK! The old ironstone pics are great, I want every single piece of it! Hugs, Janna
Thanks for the nice compliments! I'm pretty fickle about decorating at my house, but I don't think I'll ever get tired of my book page wall.
If you do decide to give it a try, I think it is important to use a variety of book pages, not all the same book. Also, I saw on someone else's blog that you can do this with liquid starch instead of glue so that it is temporary!!
(although mine has been glazed over with bronze and sepia paint, so it wouldn't have worked with starch instead of glue)

Maybe if you put on a wallpaper liner first it would come off easier...come on brave(crazy girl) you can do it and it will be FABULOUS!!!
I still hate this new blog thing too, I have the worst time with Piper's blog...IT SUCKS BLOGGER!!!
PS...I'm going antiquing...guess where...come on, let's hear the 'B'-word...heehee!!! ;)
karla is super talented. her blog is a great source for so many different styles of decorating, art, collecting and good narrative. that wall is super awesome!!!!
thanks for sharing
