Moody library/office makeover with grasscloth wallpaper.
I've been hard at work transforming my home office with wallpaper and painted bookcases!
I know, I know…I say this a lot. But this space is turning into one of my all time favorite makeovers. I don't think I could love this room more!
I shared the design plan for this office makeover a few weeks ago. This project is really entails just finishing up this room more than redoing anything.
I've already built the wall of green bookcases and created a huge upholstered pin board on the opposite wall:
The room looked great, but I wanted to add some warm finishing details and change a couple of things up.

After a few tries with different wallpaper designs, I landed on this neutral grasscloth peel and stick wallpaper for the walls:
It worked perfectly with the built ins and was much calmer and easier to work with than the other designs I looked at. I'm so glad I found it!
Years ago I shared a tutorial on installing peel and stick wallpaper. I find it kind of satisfying to hang. It has plenty of stick, so you can readjust over and over if needed.
You will need clean walls and it is recommended to wait four weeks after painting to apply removable wallpaper.
During the install, I had to work around some art. I had a symmetrical set of ten Audubon prints on the long wall in my office, as you can see in this before pic:
