Right now I'm loving..... wallpaper! I've never been able to add it in any homes I've lived in (we're renters), but I'm so excited that a client agreed to let me add it to her home!
[Anyone know which one this is??]
If you are a renter like me, you could always do a wall of patterned or striped curtains to mimic a wallpaper wall:
Another option is to hang wallpaper with liquid starch. It comes off later without marks so it makes for a renter friendly option... or so I've heard from HGTV and Myles of Style.
That gingko leaf wallpaper is divine. I can't wait until you post about the projects your currently working on. I love reading your blog, and wish you all the best in your design career!
We're actually trying to remove wallpaper from our guest bedroom and half bath. We're using that DIF spray, but it's still a pain. Do you have any tips to make removal less painful?! I only wish the wallpaper we're removing was a beautiful as some you posted!
I like your idea of using a curtain for visual interest in lieu of wallpaper. We are renting too and I've been looking into the temporary kind...have fun picking out wallpaper for your client!

ReplyDeleteYou have to post what wallpaper you will be using! There are so many pretty ones out there I want to see what you end up going with :)
ReplyDeleteYou rent that big ole house of yours?!?! I'm shocked.
ReplyDeleteI am coming around to wallpaper. I used to hate it, but they make some beautiful paper now.
that last wallpaper image is a graham and brown paper- Chrysanthemum in Gold
ReplyDeleteSara - we rent from our in-law's who generously cut us a great deal. Also it's really not that big! < 2,000 sq ft.
ReplyDeletehere's a link to temporary wallpaper, perfect for renters :)

Everything you post, I love. It is clean, and yet full of personality and charm. I love that last room, that desk is delightfully handsome.

See, I always think wallpaper looks cool... I am just the kind of person who decorates and re-decorates all the time. :) Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI love wallpaper too....in the right place. Those lamps in the third photo are to die for!
ReplyDeletelove those designs - I've been looking at some wall paper options for the entry way to our house and the ones you showed are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous inspiration! I love the look of wallpaper, but scraping 3 layers off of a ceiling has me reluctant. I may start off with a closet. :)
