:: wallpaper y'all, WALLPAPER::

Posted in: keeping it real

I am back on girl nursery ideas this week…there is no reason, I still dont know for certain what I am having (will know in three weeks hopefully) and I really do feel like it is another boy (and i love that idea) BUTTTT I realized today, “OMG if it is a GIRL we could do WALLPAPER”..I love wallpaper, we have just a tad bit in our bathroom but my husband is really good at the wallpaper thing and the room is super tiny…. SO I found a few “ideas”..I know i also said “red for a girl with not much pink” but notice all of the loud pink wallpapers (imagine with white furniture and plain white linen crib bedding, maybe one big monogram somewhere)..must be the hormones. One part of me says “this poor little house cant handle too much pink or another pattern” but another part of me says “go whole hog, more is more and pattern and color on the walls of a tiny room is just always good.” We’ll see. Poor Daddy!

I am also sentimental because I had wallpaper in my room when I was a little girl, yellow check (can we say late 1970s) and later, a dark navy with little pink flowers. And my dad hung it and it just a sweet memory, made me feel very girl and special to have wallaper in my room.

So here are a few samples..none are expensive, I intentinally stayed away from Colefax, Nina C, etc.. any books or sites that you love for wallpaper???

Enjoy!

I love them all! The bottom right one (the beige) looks like what I have picked out for my master bathroom.

I love your taste and thought you might like this idea for a girl’s room…something we had at our museum, as part of the Chocolate exhibit (!)…little stools that look like bon bons, complete with the little brown pleated paper… I can’t find an online photo, though…sorry

I used that first toile fabric from fabric.com on my daughters bedding and pillows. I have pics of my blog if you want to see it. I put it with a solid chenille, a plain and a polka dot. After having 2 boys, I went “hog wild” in your words! Blessings, The Magic Brush
