Christiana Coop of Ferm Living recently shared a DIY project of hers on her blog Clever Spaces, finding yet another use for Ferm's gorgeous wallpaper. She decided to update a Target Secretary Desk ($144.99) by priming and painting it white, and wallpapering the interior with the Ferm Wild Flower (Green) Wallpaper ($115). By measuring the inside sections of the desk first, and then using an adhesive spray to keep them down, the project was pretty breezy. And, to keep the paper intact as the desk is used, Coop sprayed it with a protective coating. To see the impressive results, read more.

I love it! Do you? Do you have any desks or other furniture pieces lying around that you could wallpaper?

    Before, it looked straight out of the 70's. Now it looks very modern and sleek. I like it a lot.

    It's great but $145 + $114 for the paper? Seems kind of yikes expensive to me.

    The wallpaper is Ferm. $145 + $114 is expensive, but you don't need much wallpaper for the project, so it's a great way to use up spare pieces left over from bigger wallpapering projects.

    wow...gorgeous! i would love something like that- but the way my husband thinks, if you spend more than $200 on a piece of furniture it shouldn't need any work shrug
