If you went out to lunch with a friend and you had spinach stuck in your teeth, you'd want him or her to tell you, right?...
I'm more than your go-to design chick. I'm your friend. And as your friend, it is my duty to tell you: you must have some wallpaper in your home.
Wallpaper is now more than a trend. It's de rigueur. People are embracing it now. They're recognizing its potential. They're unleashing the power of patterned walls....
Where were we? Ah yes: changing the powder room strategy from blue to green. This is the living room I'd just completed for a client.
I fell in love with that wallpaper. I mean, LOVE. All those months of focusing on yellow and blue and pink (oops - spoiler alert: pictures of my living room coming soon!)...I was feeling the need for some green. This wallpaper just needed to be in my house - somewhere.
Thus we began the powder room adventure....
Yay, spring! Even though I barely busted out the parka this winter, I'm ready for a change. 78-degree days in February are spooky. But in March, they're fabulous. And they smell better.
Could it have been a yearning for spring that led me to green for my powder room? My Irish heritage?...
I’m THRILLED that so many of you approve of the bird-a-palooza that’s taken place in my foyer. Thanks so much for all the words of support.
Some of you asked a very good question: “So where does the wallpaper end?”
It’s a great question. The answer wasn’t obvious....
Fred and Carrie were right! Everything IS better when you put a bird on it!
My fancy schmancy Nina Campbell wallpaper went up yesterday.
What can I say: it might have been the happiest day of my life....
What did YOU do over the holidays?
Really? Fun!
Me? Oh, the usual...ate too much...drove too much...got a little jiggy with metallic paint...
Let me back up. I haven't yet confessed to you that I went on a bit of a decorating bender at the end of 2011....
Given that the temperature in D.C. dipped to 5 degrees last night - that's FIVE degrees, people; a single digit - Miami seems like a distant memory.
Nonetheless, I have a few more pictures of the Mondrian to show you, so I'll make this long on visuals, short on words....
