Simple Tan on White Foliage Design Brightens Hall Bathroom

May 25, 2021
Nothing wrong with this pattern – just outdated. And starting to fail after more than 20 years on the wall.
The new selection is fresh and crisp, and coordinates nicely with the woodwork and tile colors.
This bathroom had some Hellishly narrow and awkward spaces to maneuver around in.

After 20+ years in this Willowbend / Meyerland neighborhood, the homeowners are updating several rooms in their home.

With the new wallpaper, this hall bathroom is modernized, yet still in keeping with it’s ’60’s era classic ranch style roots.

Shimmery Dragon Glass Bead Wallpaper on Bedroom Accent Wall

June 5, 2020

Just about everything in this gal’s new home is glimmer, mirror, crystal, and sheen. So no question that the accent wall in the master bedroom should be the same.

This design is printed on a pearlescent silver background, and features swirling dragon motifs made of tiny real glass beads. Viewed with light coming from an angle (window on the south wall, for instance, or a bedside table lamp), the wallpaper has a real glitter effect.

The wallpaper is by Osborn & Little, and is in the line by designer Matthew Williamson. It is a vinyl-covered non-woven material, and can be hung by either the paste-the-wall method or the paste-the-paper method (which is what I opted for).

The home is in the Braeswood / Meyerland / Braes Heights / Willowbend / Willow Meadows neighborhood of south west Houston. This area was heavily devastated by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. The home sits right on the Buffalo Bayou, and was built after that disaster, and situated quite high up.
