[@caitlindavenport9731]

Your apartment is amazing!! I can’t get over that view 😍😍😍🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you so so much love, honestly I can’t get over it either 😭🙏🏼

[@francieobrien3377]

Maybe you already thought of this, but reach out to management and ask if you can paint it. (even if it's stated in the lease) Worse that can happen is they say no. Management might have access to the original paint color, and can provide it to you and when you move out of the apartment, you can paint it back to it's original color.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Unfortunately it's not just painted wall, it's some sort of material that has an almost plastic (but not plastic) finish on it so painting it is not an option.

[@adrianabarthel3403]

I used to work for a cabinet company and we would use 1/4" thick veneer on backs of islands. It should be light enough to adhere to the wall.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

brilliant! thank you!! I'm going to look into this 💗

[@LAwesomeable]

Need some of that vegan Queso in my life! Gotta find those Siete beans- enjoyed the vlog!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

It's so good I hope you'll try it 💗💗💗

[@channelteh]

You could try laser cut acrylic, most sign companies do them made to measure plus is light material so should easily stick 🤔

[@ShaylaQuinn]

That's a really great idea! Thank you, I'm going to look into it 💗

[@dianebaker5243]

I would not do everything with the kitchen unit .the view out the window I be looking at. Not under a unit. Lovely video thanks for sharing 👍 🥰

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Totally get that! But I'd personally like it lighter for the backgrounds of future yoga videos as the lighting will look brighter ☺️

[@lindag.6819]

I don't have any idea if this would work, but have you thought of a short nap, light weight carpet? It may still be too heavy, but you could use that tacky stuff to hold up 4 or 5 of those nail carpet strips and then stick your carpet piece on them. I don't know. This idea could be the worst, but I'll keep watching to see what you end up with. Good luck!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

No idea is a bad idea!! Thank you for that - I'm going to look into it!💗

[@sagitteaius]

Okay, hear me out, wooden pole wrap! If you get it at a hardware store, they might be able to cut it to the height you need!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

love that idea! I'm putting it on my list and will look into it 🤗

[@saragould7098]

If you have a Lowes near you -they have some nice paneling-the white bead board is nice and they will cut it for you to the length you need-also get some heavy duty command strips (lots of them) and use that to adhere it.

[@ShaylaQuinn]

That's definitely an idea I had, wasn't thinking necessarily Lowes but I will look into it!! Thank you 💗

[@cozyhomequeen]

I love love love your channel, so happy you are growing here!!! 🥰

[@ShaylaQuinn]

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you! 🥲 And YAY so glad you're feeling better 💗💗💗 rest rest rest and lots of liquids!

[@CarolineInspired]

Shayla, oh my - if only you could have seen me watching your vlog with my husband in the room 😆 He was talking non-stop throughout watching your vlog 🤦🏼‍♀️ ‘is she not in LA anymore?‘ ‘her dogs are really cute’ ‘oooh, I need some shorts like that’ + THEN when you started doing your kitchen unit wall, I was like ‘here we go’…he has his own sign writing business + was giving me all these tips to tell you what to do. If you lived in England, he would totally come + do it for you 😆

[@ShaylaQuinn]

😂😂😂😂💗 that's amazing, this comment jus made my day 🤗🥲

[@alyssagoodrich]

Cut a small piece of the wallpaper and stick it to the top right corner to test it. The sticky wallpaper I got from Amazon is not very sticky at all. I really don’t think it will damage the wall so you might not even have to bother with any of these “hacks”. Any of the hacks that need to be adhered would like be stickier or intentionally cause damage (holes for nails / screws)

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Good idea to do a test strip - yeah I wouldn't use nails or screws, I was more thinking of something that would fit around it or be stuck with something sticky but removable in just a few places VS completely sticking wallpaper all over it!

[@warmbreeze43]

You can use double sided 3m tape that has those hooks. Just buy the tape. Never damages anything. Used them for years. Cut your wallpaper strip to size and finish it up. It looks great. No added expense or waste of wallpaper. Flip it so the torn side is to be cut off. Good luck. I do tons of diy projects especially in my way too modern Winnebago 😂

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Great idea!!! Thank you!!

[@sophiet746]

For under the counter I like the idea of a hard surface cut to the right size, but instead of the putty I would stick it on with Command strips, they don’t do any damage at all I also think it should be pale pink 😇🥰 Amazing vlog!

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Yes I bought some commando strips as well! I will try again ☺️

[@jackmovick9116]

I’ve seen someone before use masking tape all over the area. Then do the peel and stick paper over the masking tape! It worked great. When it was removed there was no damage :-)

[@ShaylaQuinn]

OMG that's kind of a genius idea!!!! Thank you!

[@junekuntz1874]

Hi Shayla, Great video today I love the walking around the city the wallpaper looks good your nacho and the pasta look so yummy I'll have to try it I hope you can get the wallpaper up see you in the next. 🌉🗽🚕

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you!! 😊

[@samanthadapkewicz6490]

So happy for you!!! 💪👍✌️

[@ShaylaQuinn]

thank you so much love 💗💗💗

[@sarahs_sunny_life6408]

Loved! Thank you for sharing ❤️ c am I ask, in the juice can you taste the kale? I do cucumber, apple, ginger & celery currently, not thought about adding kale? X

[@ShaylaQuinn]

I don't think I can taste the kale, as the ginger lemon and apple take over but I'd say try it and see for yourself! 💗

[@aimesanchez26]

when are they coming for your mirror! that would bug me lol. Also, love your beautiful smile (:

[@ShaylaQuinn]

GREAT QUESTION. I am sooooo bugged by it honestly lol. Hopefully soon? was supposed to be picked up + the new one delivered by 6/24 but it's 6/26 and we have no movement 😂😅

[@sarahb.8183]

Love your vlogs! Would love a new NYC yoga tutorial :)

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Thank you 💗 Once my space is finished being set up I'll certainly be doing more yoga videos 💗

[@rithsok5929]

call management they can probably paint that for you

[@ShaylaQuinn]

Sadly they can’t and will not paint it. It’s not a painted wall!

[@fruitfulhope203]

Those Vegan options look sooooo nice 🤤 . Zero need to involve any 🐖🦞🦐🦀🐟🦆🐓🐇 in 2022
