An Airy, Lacy Medallion Brightens a Master Bathroom

The previous homeowner had done this torn-paper application herself. It was artsy and nicely done – and definitely colorful. But the new lady of the house wanted a more serene space. She chose this open medallion pattern, in gold on white. Boy, what a transition!

What’s cool is this bathroom has a deep soaking tub, with a large window that looks out into a private courtyard. Now the room is a peaceful place to enjoy an hour in the tub.

The wallpaper is by Regency, and is a thick, stiff non-woven material. There are special tricks to working with this stuff. For more flexibility, I pasted the material, and did not paste the wall.

The home is off Eldridge Parkway in west Houston, and was damaged by the flooding from Hurricane Harvey.

Photo 1 – Before: You can sleep in here, but the room is cold and uninviting.

Photo 2 – After: You feel snug and warm and cozy in this bedroom.

Photo 3 – A close-up of the texture of the grasscloth.

Photo 4 – My scissors is there to show scale, and to point to the seam. Note that with grasscloth, you will always see the seams, because the natural fibers do not have a pattern that can be matched. I was very happy that there was minimal shading or paneling (color variations between strips and / or within strips). The homeowner loved it.

This grasscloth wallpaper is by Twill, and I hung it in the master bedroom of a home on the west side of Houston, near Memorial and Eldridge.
