Hunt Slonem Bunnies Wallpaper

I saw this wallpaper in a powder room while taking the Houston Heights Home Tour last Sunday . This pattern was wildly popular about 10 years ago.
Imagine squeezing under that console sink with metal legs to place the wallpaper under there.

Another shot, showing a little more of the fir down / soffit over the sink .
According to Wikipedia , the designer, Hunt Slonem , started developing his obsession with all things bunny in the early 1980’s . He’s produced lots of different incarnations, and they’ve been used in wallpaper , fabric , artwork , kitchenware , decorative items , and everything in between.

Such a fun pattern. “And they breed like – rabbits!” This wallpaper is notoriously difficult to install . More on that in a future post.

Toned Down Geometric in Powder Room

Large powder room in 1980’s era home is prepped , primed , and ready for wallpaper .

This soft geometric really brings the room up to date . Note the new green paint on the vanity .

The homeowner thought I would “just start in a convenient corner.” Yes, that would have saved time. But it looks much better, don’t you think, with a geometric pattern like this, to balance the design and center it on the counter top and faucet . I also lined the bottom of the motifs along the top of the backsplash .

The manufacturer is Thibaut , one of my favorite brands . It’s a traditional paper, installed by pasting the paper . This was purchased through my favorite source , Dorota Hartwig at the Sherwin Williams in the Rice Village in central Houston. She’s expert at helping you quickly zero in on your perfect pattern.

The home is in the Champions area of northwest Houston .
