Bedroom wall drapery complete
The Heritage bedroom paper had buckled in a few places on the long wall. After posting a question here on the forum for suggestions, I received two great ideas.
For the larger vertical bubble in the middle and the small one right next to it, I used the wall curtain idea that Holly suggested. First, I made a paper mockup of the curtain panel and then made the wall panel a few days ago using the Millie August Magic Mini pleating tool. I made the pleats with the tool and then sprayed them with Aleene's Stiffen Quik to set my final arrangement.
I made a pelmet for the top of the curtain, smaller than the one I made for the parlor. I painted it white and then covered it with the same fabric I used for the accent pillow on the bed. I hadn't needed to paint the pelmet in the parlor since the fabric was darker. I glued the curtain inside the pelmet.
I used mini hold wax to attach the pelmet to the wall. If I ever need to remove it for cleaning or replacement, I won't risk damaging the delicate paper on the wall.
The bubbles are covered, and the panel adds a wonderful design element. I would never have done this without the wallpaper problem, so I suppose it's another one of those happy accidents.
