Blue & White Medallion Brightens a Newly Remodeled Kitchen

The walls in this newly updated kitchen in a condo in the Houston Heights were new and white. I spent a couple hours priming and putting the paper up, and was focused on what I was doing. When I finished and started to pack up my gear, I looked at the wall and said – Wow!

I couldn’t believe how much brighter the wallpaper made the room look! It’s funny how that works.

Another cool thing is that I centered the pattern on the dining room wall, so it would line up with the chandelier. But as I worked my way to the left, the pattern fell smack centered on the sink and faucet. (Well, O.K., if you look hard, it’s off a smidgen – but that’s pretty good for an unplanned happenstance.)

A couple years ago, I hung this same paper in the adjoining living room, on a fireplace accent wall. The homeowner made a wise choice to use the same paper in the dining room and the kitchen (one long wall), because it ties the areas together, but does not overwhelm with too much pattern.

This wallpaper is by Thibaut, had to be hand-pasted, and went up very nicely.
