Free July 2022 Wallpapers and Backgrounds

Happy July! Summer is in full swing and the July 2022 wallpapers are giving me all the tropical vibes. Before I share the wallpapers, I wanted to give you my usual monthly update. If you follow me on Instagram @blazersandbluejeans, you know that I was refinishing a dresser for my bedroom. I found the IKEA Hemnes dresser on Facebook Marketplace and it was a little more banged up than I was expecting so I decided to refinish it a week before I moved (do not recommend). I ended up taking the paint off and staining the top, repainting the rest of it green and then swapping out the hardware. I love how it turned out and love the hardware I put on it. They were super cheap on Amazon. If I were to redo the project I would have done a couple of things differently…

Stripped the paint. I sanded the top since I was staining it and it took me hours to finally get down to the actual wood grain. I still would have sanded the green areas but I would strip it first because I feel like the paint didnt adhere as well as I wanted.
Added a clear coat on the green. I really wanted to use dark wax to give it some depth but I have never used it before and I was a little hesitant to give it a try.
Been more careful sanding. Towards the end I was sooo sick of sanding so I was half assing it and there are a couple of marks that you can see because I stained it so I should have been more careful.

I need to hide the chords from my TV still but I’ll save that for another day. I was also able to check off nine books off my list this month. Check out my Instagram to see which books I love and which ones, not so much. It was a good mix of self-help, thrillers, and romance books last month.

One last thing I wanted to share before jumping into the wallpapers is that I have been seeing a lot of influencers posting about drinking bone broth. If you are unfamiliar with bone broth, I have been drinking it almost every single morning for over 5 years. I actually made a blog post about doing the Bone Broth diet but now I drink it every morning with Collagen Peptides. Bare Bones is my favorite brand but I also love Kettle and Fire and Lono Life. Bone broth is filled with protein and collagen and is low in calories so it will keep you full and provides great skin benefits.

Now on to the July wallpapers! They are giving me all the summer vibes with tropical prints, fireworks, and bright colors. I hope you all have a great rest of your summer!
