wallpaper samples and an empty bedroom

The local Scrap Store got these wallpaper samples....the old brain started ticking......there was something I had always wanted to do........and if I didn't like it....it would have cost me virtually nothing and I could strip it off and and do it in the normal boring way.....lol

As I had started a dolls house club some years ago I had collected wallpaper with a small enough design to be used in 1/12 scale.....I  used some of that as well.... I can now part with  the rest off it and clear a space in my house full of crafty stuff.
It was these frames that set me off....
Not one of the sheets had a complete one......
cut out and reassembled
pasted on the wall

This is a wall in the bedroom I am decorating for occasional guests to use...and for me to use as a winter sitting room. Any season it is the warmest room in the house....in summer it is sweltering!
I have always wanted to do this.....I was going to put magazine adverts on as well......Another wall is done differently......but again with wallpaper samples....the other two wall are painted with paint from Scrap Store. I am grinning from ear to ear....waiting for someone to come down to give their verdict......lol
