Talking Walls

I have wallpapered since I was a kid. I loved to do it, and I enjoyed detailed work, which wallpapering is. I still love the look of a good wallpaper job. Wallpaper can be $$$$, especially when you compare it to paint. But if you do a bathroom or an accent wall, it can be much more manageable. 

Here are some pictures, just to get you inspired 
if you were thinking about adding a little paper to your walls. 

I love this wall paper, and in a tiny bathroom, it makes it look so much richer.

 I love this feminine bathroom. They also took the same print 
and made a roman shade to keep the pattern going. 
The sink and marble back splash is amazing also!

I LOVE this entry. Everything about it is just perfect!

This might have been from Anthropologie or somewhere similar. 
They have great wallpaper pattens, though I have never worked with their wallpaper,
 so I can't recommend it...yet. Maybe one of these days 
I will spend a pretty penny on some. 

I thought this was such a fun entry...I'm assuming is an entryway.

Lovely nursery!

This was a House Beautiful, magazine cover a couple years back, and still so pretty.

Wouldn't this be the sweetest guest room?

This was West Elm, or PB2, or one of those fun home store layouts one year. 
I LOVE the wallpaper. It's so dramatic and bold, 
but the gray flowers on it give it a softness that's very lovely.

This pattern is so soft and pretty in this room.

And last, this entryway is very dramatic with the amazing staircase, 
floors and then all that wallpaper!

Ace of Spades

I love the color black. If it's clothes, handbags, shoes, chairs, walls, couches...it's always such a good back drop color or even the one color that stands out. Like this family room, I love these black slipcovered wing back chairs! They are neutral, but still are such statement pieces. 



I love the dotted wall paper, chairs, light and well, I like pretty much everything about this corner.


I am LOVING the black floors! So so great. And the barstools look so sharp too.


Black shiny walls and book shelves.


My front door is black, but some how it doesn't have the same charm as this one.


I would never think to have a black house, but this one caught my eye right away.


Lastly, this office is so cozy and chic with the black walls and trim.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Shiny

I am in love with these pretty cupboards! They are so feminine. 
And if I had a fancy house, I would think of a hand rail like this.

LOVING this shower!!!

And this one too.

I think this light is absolutely perfect almost anywhere you put it!

Have a wonderful weekend...I'm starting mine a little early 
with a fun dinner with some great friends tonight.

Instagram

I love instagram. From the first day I was introduced to it, I thought it was the best idea! I love photography, and I love things that are quick and easy. 

Here are a few of mine from last year. 



If you haven't joined Instagram yet, you should! Such a fun quick way to keep up 
with people and keep a record of fun and special times.

It's been months since I posted last. Hopefully now that my computer is fixed, I will start posting again.
