My blog helps homeowners, apartment renters and those interested in the design scene with honest, clear cut information about interior design- what to do and not to do. It features real life photos of work done by my company, real life mistakes done by clients and ranting and raving about my everyday life in the hectic, yet rewarding world of interior design for the rich, famous, not so famous and common homeowner.

So this is the wallpaper that I am in love with at the moment. I originally ordered it for my showroom, before I downsized due to the economy. I am a firm believer in recycling and I had the perfect room to use this paper in my new home, the problem is- I ordered enough to fit the original space, not my living room, which is significantly larger (yet still a tiny space to me!). My plan for this space is a great concept for using a fabric or wallpaper in short demand, yet still is a stylish solution in a pre-planned interior. I first painted the side walls a light shade called Perfect Greige (Sherwin Williams- of course). Greige is a designer's term for a combination of the colors gray and beige. I envisioned the wallpaper in my center wall- my focal area. On this wall I used a darker paint- Sherwin Williams Garret Gray. This color is a gorgeous and rich brown- gray with a plum undertone. It is a versatile neutral and goes well with many coordinating accent colors. I painted the left and right sides of my center wall around 3' in on each side.
