I know they're already applied, but I didn't see your request for suggestions before this, so I thought I'd mention that liquid starch is great way to apply fabric to a wall. Plus it allows you to easily remove and change whatever it is you put up. I don't know if would work as well with paper, but it's worth a try.
I love the animals, I know many have asked but what did you end up using for the application? Great idea also to convert your dining room to your studio!
i love this so much!! i've seen the wallpaper animals around (and in fact my best friend bought a couple for her baby's room), and i think this is a brilliant adaptation. great idea.
Courtney, these look so good, really unique. I've been really coveting all the wall applique things I've been seeing around, wanting to do something like it...somewhere. I love how you just took the bull by the horns, may have to try out a version for us. I've been wanting to do something in our closet for starters. Inspiring as always.
Wow!!! I found your stuff through another blog and I cannot believe the creativity. I love the apron in the top pictures. I going to have to show the girls in our store becuase they are on an apron kick.
would this be easy to remove? i'm wondering because i've been wanting to find something to decorate my daughter's room with, but wanted something i can remove easily since we may be selling soon.
Cool!

they look great - i love how the mouse's tail drapes over the molding. what did you end up using to apply it?

You have a spectacular sense of style.
(I've noticed this overall on your blog.)
I'm loving your son's room and it makes me want to do something, ANYTHING, to my own son's room. O, the guilt!

Very cool! I'm not sure what you used to apply the fabric but thought you might like this recipe using fabric and cornstarch: http://heartkeepercommonroom.blogspot.com/2006/01/decorating-on-budget.html

Oops, sorry, I said "what you used to apply the fabric" but meant to say "what you used to apply the paper".

They turned out great. I love the squirrel.
