EB is inspired by Regency England in her work as a novelist. As a newb DIYer, I've been inspired by what you might describe as surprising citrus wallpaper in our breakfast room.
Before you gasp in horror, here's the big spoiler: we won't be keeping this intact. But isn't it funny when and where we find inspiration? After we toured this house, the wallpaper haunted me, and not just because I could see visions of it through my closed eyelids when I lay down to sleep that night. It seemed to scream out as the only possible color palette for our home.
I've already committed to green through a couple of past purchases and projects. Just when I started doubting the accompanying reds, oranges, and yellows, the house spoke to me. BG stripped the layers of flowers and adhesive backing from the walls to find:
"Paper," it reads.
Well the paper's frankly got to go, but its citrus essence will remain--though I plan to take it down a few notches on the loudness scale.
That word scrawled across your wall is a tad creepy. Who knows what else is written beneath that field of floral monstrosities?
ReplyDeleteWonderful palate for your inspiration, though. It's very fresh and tasteful in less visually offensive interpretations. :D

ReplyDeleteInspiration does come from the strangest places!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet if we tear more paper down, we'll find "REDRUM" somewhere!
