The wallpaper in here used to be a blue-green pattern from Jennifer's Printables, but I didn't like it juxtaposed against the green room, so I found a nice stripey pattern of scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby and installed it right over the old paper.

The floor is also scrapbook paper-- I installed it with white school glue, then brushed Minwax (waterbased) satin sealer over it. Then I almost had a mild coronary because it started to bubble, so I "scrubbed" it as hard as I dared with a soft white cloth, but it turns out that the paper seems to shrink a bit as the sealer sets, so I needn't have freaked out so much...! I put a couple more sealer coats over it and it is doing pretty well.
