It's not hyperbole that the best thing I've done for my mental health lately is wallpaper my home office.
I'm lucky enough to work from home, but after moving into a new place last year, our office was left bare and gray, made even more depressing by rainy New York weather.
So I decided to seize the day. I found a deal on peel-and-stick wallpaper — a cheaper, DIY alternative to more traditional wallpaper (plus easier to remove) — and went for it.
