In the 90's I stripped rooms of outdated wallpaper and vowed to NEVER wallpaper again. Ok--
changed my mind. It could be the pretty blogs I'm viewing recently with subtle wallpapers that make rooms look so warm/cozy/inviting with all the WHITES we use today:
I'm only going to do my small dining room (see the leaf pattern above and below):
We plan to wainscoat also--so the pattern will only be top half.
It will surround this favorite china cabinet which displays my love for ironstone china:
The pale tan and whites won't compete with my whites, tans, browns, blacks I so love to use in my home. I hope to get started early spring----
Have a great weekend!
That should really look pretty. Looking forward to seeing your job plus you said you were starting in the spring....so.....it will be spring.
ReplyDeleteHi Patty-Just caught up on all your recent posts, and I love everything! I am an ironstone lover, too, so I can relate. and I love the little wallpapered drawer...so cute! Such fun catching up on all your thrifting. Also I think the wallpaper idea is great!

Hello Patty...Ohhhh, good luck with the wallpaper. I'm sure it will be very pretty but oh, my, a LOT of work. Don't know if I could do it. Take care. Susan

Beautiful wallpaper you have chosen and will look lovely in your dining room. Love your cabinet will all you ironstone china. I love ironstone too and have collected a few pieces. Thanks for sharing and I'm looking forward to following.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day and Happy Valentine's.
Love all of your whites! What is it about white tea pitchers? I just can't pass them up and believe me I've tried. The wall paper will look so pretty with your whites.

Oh, I think the wallpaper will look gorgeous! All of your ironstone pieces are wondeful. I wish I could say that I can pass up a beautiful piece of white ironstone but, for some reaon, they always jump into my cart! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the wallpaper! So very pretty! I can't tell if the back of your china cabinet is beadboard or flat, but I'd love to see the wallpaper back there, too. I think your gorgeous ironstone will look particularly stunning set off against the wallpaper. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Patty- Thanks so very much for stopping by; it gave me the opportunity to come visit and see all the pretties you have to show! I love your wallcovering! I would much rather paper than paint! I never stopped using papers even though the custom faded for a few years. I have red in my kitchen- sort of a French country look. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHey, you don't need my help, girl- I think you have the vignette thing down pat! Love all your whites and your collections. You do have a good eye...

I have some wallpaper I would love to have removed or just covered up, as it is so dated. Really like that cabinet.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
I like this wallpaper, it's subtle and the colors are so soothing. I've spent so many frustrating hours taking down wallpaper and also said "never again." I think a little would be a nice touch.
