My decoupaged wall is one of the most talked about things in my house. It's tucked away in our guest bathroom. Everyone that visits comes out of the room for the first time with a huge smile on his or her face. The first question is always "did you do that yourself?" The second, "was it easy?"
I used two paperback copies of The Hobbit for my wall. I collect JRR Tolkien books and had about 12 different copies at the time. The two I used had damaged covers and the pages were already falling out, which is what originally inspired the project.

It's a great way to spiff up a horrid thrift store painting, too, if you want something a little more portable. :)

Wow! I would love to use your bathroom just so I could check out your wall! How long did it take? It is absolutely stunning! Decoupage is so much fun!

Attaching the pages took me about 2-3 hours. It's pretty easy once everything is set up and you get going.

That is soooooooo amazingly cool. It makes it even cooler that you used a Tolkien book. :D

I also drew Thror's map and I framed the book covers and hung them on the opposite walls. :)

Yep, really! That's total, of course. I didn't count drying time.
I saw your mirror, it's very cool!

wow my best friend has a wall covered in crap she taped up. we have been working on it since we were 13, when we open our venue we will have to do this to some wall.
pretty neat. Like the book idea, permanent reading material.

I did the same thing growing up. I've always love covering walls and even ceilings with stuff. I guess it makes sense it would eventually be permanent.

I think this is completely rad.
I wish I had the wall space to do it.

This is very cool (as everyone else has mentioned). There's a cafe near me where their toilet cubicles are wallpapered in much the same way... except with really vibrant 70s comic book pages. I've wanted to do it in my own room for such a long time, even just on one wall... now you've given me some great tips as to how it's done! Cheers!

Oh, I bet the comic book pages are stunning! I hope you get to do your own.
