Guest Picks: Wallpaper for Kids
I'm loving the return of wallpaper in children's decor. Yes, wallpaper can be a little pricey once you purchase it and have it installed, but consider it instant artwork. You literally don't need to put up anything else on the wall, except for maybe a mirror. Here are some of my favorite new prints out there which would make a statement in any child's room.
