This week was filled with typical clashes. On Tuesday morning's dog walk, I'm sure the neighbors who were probably still in bed loved being woken up by mom/daughter drama culminating in Rose screaming, "I f-ing hate you." and "I'm not doing that sh!t."
Alas, I'm pretty used to being hated, and though I flinch when the word are thrown at me, they rolls off, leaving no real marks. In fact, replaying the scene in my mind makes me laugh. Other Rose thoughts that made me giggle this week were her insisting she didn't want to be independent to get out of opening an umbrella, and her questions about puberty. I will not share those here... Too private.
At the same time, I'm beginning to day dream about paint and wallpaper for our formal dining and living rooms. I know many doubt my sanity in picking wallpaper, but it's just for one wall, an accent. It's classy! It's old fashioned! You'll love it! And if not, well, it's not your house. ;) If I can be publicly hated, I can handle a little decorative disdain.
Here's the types of wallpaper I'm most interested in. Unfortunately, because it's truly vintage it costs a small fortune. This will be a purchase I need to save for later.
For the dining room:
I like the green here, and would almost want the whole dining room in it. Too costly.
Love this blue yet wonder if it's just too busy and bold.
Maybe the bird is too much, but of the three this is a winner for the dining area.
For the living room, I'm debating between gold foil versus red.
Gold...so elegant...
It's like living in a Jane Austen home, and the light reflecting off the gilded wallpaper would make us look like Greek gods and goddesses.
But then, there is red. Beautiful, striking, and bold.
Not sure stripes are my thing..
Very pretty, but again, rather busy.
Now, this is a little more subtle. Where the others smack you in the face as you enter a room, this one would greet you with a smile and maybe a hug.
So the search continues.
