Five Room Update – Kitchen Re-Do

Can you say ’80’s?! Dated and soiled, it really was time for this 30+ year old original paper to go.

Poor colors in this photo – the new paper is actually aqua and green a a bit of grey. One pattern was used for the walls, and another for the fir down / soffits.

A little better view of the true colors.

There is a pearlized or iridescent quality to this wallpaper.

Candice Olson’s line by York. Anything she touches, you can bet it will have a bit of shimmer and glimmer and glam.

Curlicues, caterpillars, or corn curls – this is a fun and active design, used just on the fir downs over the cabinets.

The Easy-Walls line in the Chesapeake collection by Brewster is a very nice pre-pasted paper, easy to install and easy to remove. It’s a very thin non-woven material, similar to another of my favorites, the Sure-Strip by York.

This shot, taken through the adjoining dining room, shows how beautifully the colors and patterns coordinate. Oh, and did I mention the beautiful new blue and green glass tile backsplash?!

The two-sister duo who selected patterns and colors for this League City (Houston) home did a superb job coordinating the two bedrooms, one bathroom, and the dining room and kitchen. The whole house has a very pulled together look, with a theme of gardens, light, fresh, and uplifting.
