Exhibit "A". North Carolina designer Shannon Berry recreated Schumacher's "Birds and Butterflies" with a Sharpie. And some paint. Inspired? The link below the photo will take you to the tutorial.
Who could resist Patricia Shackleford's interpretation of her favorite Gracie paper in 2011?
I absolutely adore this rendition of Oh Joy!'s Petal Pusher.
My friend Cris was inspired by the papers of de Gournay when she designed her new dining room.
And of course, the mother of all hand-painted walls that launched a bizillion blogger "swoons", Danika Herrick's recreation of Schumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon.
I started a little hand-painted wallpaper project of my own but it fell by the wayside about an eighth of way through because of a little "Challenge" I was participating in. I chose a pattern that I think might be foolproof.
I'll let you know when that project is back on track.

This would take some serious patience! The result is super gorgeous though, and cost effective! Love all these examples.
Oh, can't wait to see!! Unfortunately, I cannot draw at all....but wish I could re-create wallpaper on one of my walls! Take care, Caroline
Love original treatments on walls. Love these images. Have a great weekend Kim.

Every one of these examples is stunning! I have no patience for such projects so I can't wait to see what your "foolproof" adaptation is all about!
I really want to hand paint a wall or walls in my house. I just need to give up sleep altogether to get it done. Maybe some day.
I'm no where near talented enough to pull this off, but I would invite any of these bloggers to come to my house to hand paint my walls!
A lot of talent and patience involved here. Love it all!
Shannon's has always been a HUGE inspiration to me. But it was a great lesson to me in knowing my limitations. :) I don't have that kind of talent.
I always marvel at anyone who has the talent to do such work...beautiful!
OH to be able to "Draw"!!!!
The PERFECT solution to the wallpaper saga!
Love the one you're working on!!
I'm with Elizabeth on this one. I already know I can't do this. It is fantastic to look at!
oh i just love this post! great inspirational pics. i would love to see what YOU are working on :)
Whoo - gorgeous to look at!! I definitely wouldn't have the patience to do it, but it is so lovely.
Okay, I am seriously so in love with that first bathroom that I can't even breathe. Every.single.element is spectacular. SUCH creativity. I am completely inspired. Thank you!
Can't wait to see your next project!! Oh, if only I had the talent, patience and time to try something like this!
Okay ... love the idea and using it in a client's home as we speak!! But I hired someone ... I have no talent in painting!! Love your plan!! xo
Great inspirations. Can't wait to see your project. I'd love to try Les Touches on some vinyl I have. Need to work on that.
Wow, wow, WOW!!! All of these walls are absolutely AMAZING!!! I am so impressed. Goodness, I wish I had some artistic talent, and a little more patience. I am seriously considering using that beautiful blue and white Sherwin Williams Easychange wallpaper that was featured recently in Matchbook. It is exquisite, the price is unbeatable, AND it’s a cinch to remove! http://www.matchbookmag.com/boutique/884-kathy-ireland-grand-estates-collection-easychange-in-pattern-sw8eg5382
XOXO,

Oh, I'm such a fan ~ can't wait to see what you're keeping from us over there, how about a little peek? :)
Thanks so much for including my little bathroom, Kim! It's so fun to see other creative wall treatments. Funny...I'm terrified to wallpaper my own walls but have no problem drawing with a Sharpie all over them :)
Thanks for including my dining room! I am so impressed by everyone's art - the Dragons and the bathroom in particular - wow! Very much in love! xoxo-Cris
