Deer in the Homelights

For a high school boy’s bathroom, this wallpaper is a nice backdrop, without being too in-your-face. The small pattern in a two-tone color scheme with a slight pearlescence is muted, but brings a lot of warmth to a once-bland room. You barely notice the deer head motifs, but it is a quirky nod to the homeowners’ love of hunting.

This wallpaper is by Walquest, in their Ecochic line, and was bought at below retail price from Dorota Hartwig at Southwestern Paint on Bissonnet near Kirby.

What 15 year old girl would not love this wallpaper pattern?! And when she leaves for college and her room gets turned over to guests, the paper will still be perfect!

One photo shows the use of my laser level, to be sure the first strip hangs perfectly plumb. I measured and centered the pattern on the wall horizontally, so it would fall perfectly behind the arched headboard, and the laser level was also useful to mark the spot for that fist strip to land.

This wallpaper pattern went on one accent wall, and the black ceiling really sets the room off! It is called “Riviera” and is by Cole & Son, a British company. It is on a thickish non-woven stock, and was a paste-the-wall install process.  Don’t tell anyone, but I think it looks a little like grasshopper heads.  🙂

The interior designers for this job are Neal LeBouef and Anthony Stransky, of L Design Group. Wonderful guys, and I love their crisp, clean, sophisticated style. The home is in West University Place (Houston).
