A little Concerned...


Ever since Eric has mentioned on a couple of occassions that he was getting a little nervous about the decor of the house. I will show you his main concerns. I wallpapered 2 rooms. "What? wallpaper?" Some of you may say but it's back and it's beautiful just watch HGTV. And the 2 rooms I wallpapered are proabably my 2 favorite in the house. This red pattern (above) we put in my in laundry room cuz I have red cabinent in there, same color at the little dresser you see in the picture.

Then this wall paper we put in my guest bedroom, then we did like cute antique white iron bed with crystal knobs and white pleated puffy bedding, and I loved the way it turned out. So those were the only main things that worried Eric when I first starting buying for the house.

I also believe he voiced his concern over these "feminine" knobs I put in the laundry and this rug under our kitchen table. But oh well like he said he is really starting to like it now, we will be moving in, in about 2 weeks so I will start posting some "Before" and "Afters" as some of the rooms get completed.

I am loving wallpaper lately and have been wondering what to wallpaper at my house. My house is lacking some serious color!! My friend wallpapered her laundry room and it looks awesome!! Can't wait to see your house! Sorry about your tooth, tooth aches kill.

wallpaper is fantastic, seriously, there are so many great papers out there, and upholstered walls too. the red brocade is really nice - bold! i can't wait to see it in a picture.

I am sure your house is going to look fabulous! I do have to say though that removing wallpaper is not fun! So, hopefully you like it for a long time!

Eric, thanks for popping in to say hello. What timing! I was just thinking about you guys the other day--how is Bandele? Anyway, it looks like your wife has fantastic taste...I say "yes" to wallpaper. How inspiring and she's right, it's very hot right now in the design world. So buck up and enjoy :)

Hey Kandell! Long time no talk! Did J. tell you about my blog or what? So fun to see pics of you and your family. We need to have an OH reunion or something. We'll be there around the 4th of July for a few weeks I think. I would love to meet your family. I don't want to post my email address on the blog so ask J for it or something! PS I like wallpaper too!
