The Wallpaper is Here!
It’s so pretty.
It looks good with the pink upholstery fabric I bought on eBay too. I’m going to put white curtains up instead of ivory, and I think the rug could stay (for now at least).
I was going to paint the ceiling the same color as the living room, but I don’t think it […]
Four New Dining Room Ideas
These are my latest ideas…
The constants throughout all four designs are the ivory curtains (from Crate & Barrel, now discontinued), the lighting fixture (from west elm), the dining table and chairs (vintage, from Jubilee Furniture), and the wood trim and floors in our home. Also, I may edge the curtains with a coordinating solid […]
Paint & Fabric Instead of Wallpaper?
I hated the blue upholstery on the new dining room chairs (I’m just not a big fan of the color). I peeked underneath and saw green, so I decided to take off the blue fabric. I figured the fabric underneath would either be gross and need to be recovered (which would be fine), […]
New Dining Room Table
I alluded to our new table earlier this month, and my patterned vase was photographed on it, but I hadn’t taken any proper pictures until this morning.
Brandon and I had a number of gift cards to west elm and Pottery Barn from Christmas, so we decided to combine them for a more spendy […]

First, let me share my absolute favorite wallpaper. It’s in a photo from Veer, so there’s no actual information available on it.
Now, […]
Too much?
I’ve been playing around with a photo that I pulled from Benjamin Moore’s “personal color viewer”. The wall color for the living room (wild aster) and the kitchen (bronzed beige) are there, and then I’ve been swapping out different wallpapers for the dining room. Photoshop + me = true love 4ever.
Yes, I sort […]
Painting walls with picture rail?
How do you paint a wall with picture rail? Do you paint the same wall color above and below? Or do you paint the wall color up to the picture rail and then paint the area above the same color as the ceiling?
And what about wallpaper? Only up to the picture rail?
I […]
Wallpaper Contenders
Ack. Shopping for wallpaper is not going as well as I had hoped.
A lot of the great wallpaper designs seem to be coming from England these days. That’s fine, but buying it can be a bit tricky. And then there are fabulous designs that are available to the trade-only. I had […]
