As a homeowner, I have painted almost every room in my home. Some more than once! I have looked into hanging wall paper and love the pop of color and pattern that it brings to the walls, but have always been hesitant to jump in and go for it. It just seems so permanent and complicated. I have also scrapped the glue off one too many walls to ever want to do that again!
Enter Chasing Paper. A company that creates removable wallpaper that is both stylish and easy to use. You can get the look your going for without the commitment. And it isn’t just for walls! The removable paper can be used on tabletops, closet doors or any other smooth surface. Chasing Paper was founded by Elizabeth Rees and launched it’s new website today. We are thrilled to be able to offer our readers a chance to win $50 to use towards a Chasing Paper purchase. I had the honor of interviewing Elizabeth, the mastermind behind Chasing Paper. Read on to learn more about this wonderful company and for details on how to win!
Chasing Paper was created in the conversations with serial-movers, stylish mamas who get exited with the idea that a room could grow with their babies, renters who feel like anything but, those with a hate-hate relationship with white walls and of course, DIYers. High design meets no-commitment, no-hassle, change-your-mind-as-many-times-as-you-want-to. Whether you are subletting for the summer, changing your teenage daughter’s room with every mood or just been staring at that white wall one week too long, with Chasing Paper transformation is just around the corner.
It’s hard to choose a favorite since Chasing Paper can be used in so many different ways. When preparing for our photo shoot I put the black and white stripes up horizontally in my bedroom. It took 10 minutes to do and the effect was so dramatic!
Enter to win!
To enter our giveaway, check out the Chasing Paper website, then leave a comment below letting us know your favorite pattern and how you would use the stylish removable wallpaper. The giveaway ends Thursday at midnight and the winner will be selected at random and announce on Friday March 25th. Good Luck!

Ok so I promise this will be my last salmon post for a little while but when the gettin’ is good it’s just too hard to not experiment. My brother-in-law spent an afternoon smoking some of his fresh catch and passed a little our way so I put it together with some equally bold flavors and texture for a super fast and hearty weeknight meal. I especially love the way the gooey egg yolk binds it all together.
Smoked Salmon Baguettes
1/3 C cream cheese
1/2 tsp dill
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 bunch asparagus
Drizzle olive oil
1/2 Tbsp butter
2 C smoked salmon
4 eggs, cooked sunny side up
1 large baguette or loaf of french bread, cut into 4 large chunks
cracked black pepper
Kosher salt
In a small bowl, use a spoon to mix together the cream cheese, dill and garlic powder until well blended. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan on medium and place asparagus on the pan. Lightly coat with olive oil just enough to not burn. Cook asparagus for about 4-6 minutes depending on thickness, turning with a tongs until each side is slightly seared and asparagus becomes tender. Season lightly with salt.
Meanwhile, melt butter over medium. Once pan is hot, crack eggs and cook sunny side up (or over easy if you prefer) for approximately 4 minutes. Egg whites should be opaque and the yolk should be just beginning to cook.
While eggs and asparagus are cooking, slice the baguettes and spread the inside generously with cream cheese mixture. Top with several piece of salmon. Once asparagus and eggs are cooked, place asparagus,then the egg on top of the salmon. Finish with freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of salt.
