On our launch date, March 1, 2011, I began a series called Buy vs. DIY. The first post of this series focused on home decor with a Wallpaper vs. Stencil project and whether it is better to just buy the wallpaper or stencil an entire space, by yourself, to achieve the look of wallpaper. In the end, I believe for the space I am working with (also known as the world’s ugliest guest bathroom), it is more economical to stencil rather than wallpaper. Below is only a sneak peek of the planning process of this job.  In upcoming weeks, I will provide a financial breakdown to see if my project is actually more economical.  Stay tuned…
