Here’s a winning look, wallpaper that mimics the cut agate stone, complete with a pearly shimmer – so characteristic of designer Candice Olson!

I hung this in a powder room in a new “tall skinny house” in the Heights neighborhood of Houston. The home’s style has a Victorian feel, but the homeowner’s furnishings were what I would call “elegant contemporary.” This wallpaper pattern is a perfect blend of the two.

I did have a little trouble with banged edges, as you can see in the last photo. But I was able to work around the worst of them, and there was enough paper to finish the room.

The paper is by York, and was bought at a discounted price from Dorota Hartwig at Southwestern Paint on Bissonnet near Kirby. (713) 520-6262 or dorotasouthwestern@hotmail.com. Discuss your project and make an appointment before heading over to see her.
