WALLPAPER AND A WINNER

I have been a long time lover of grass cloth wallpaper.  
My sister-in-law put the most gorgeous green grass cloth in the dining room of their first home.  
I think that is when my grass cloth love affair began. 

This first image takes my breath away.


I have wanted to incorporate grass cloth somewhere in our home since day one. 
I originally thought the foyer of our home would be a great place for the grass cloth. 
However, after observing my kids running their dirty little hands 
on the wall each and every time they go up and down the stairs, I started to reconsider. 


I also thought briefly about adding it to the boys' room.  
Unfortunately, I don't think boogers, snot and slime is easy to wipe off of grass cloth. 


I finally decided the best place to add the grass cloth would be in the office.


This office...


I am thinking this color will be perfect.  


Now, I just need to find someone to hang it.  
Perhaps I could sweet talk my mother into coming up for a few days to help me tackle this project.  
I could repay her with a trip to the spa.  Uhmmm, wonder if she's reading this?

Now, onto the important stuff.

  2. Andrea, I love grasscloth, too. In a way I would love it added in the powder room above the beadboard, but I know the mister isn't going to hang that, too so I will just paint. I know the blog that I featured at the party this week paid $62 a roll just to have grasscloth hung. They charge extra for it. Ugh.

  4. I can't wait to see it! We have grasscloth in the family room. I was lucky enough to have it when we moved in. We ended up painting it and I love how it looks.

  5. Gorgeous, I too have a love affair with grasscloth! I had a painter do a faux grasscloth in my foyer and it's perfect. That concept may work for your boy's BR and all of the "boogers, snot & slime"...LOL

  8. Ooooooh, I'm a smitten kitten for that photo with the blue grasscloth and I think it would be stunning in your office! We have some grasscloth in our basement, and I really do like it. Working my ever-changing color palette down there in order to keep it. :-)

  9. I love grasscloth and the blue is a perfect shade to bring out the color in the rug and to contrast with the perfectly yellow couch.
