Close-up: Emily & Scott's Retro Wallpaper

090707wallpapercloseup.jpg

This month we are focusing on adornment - which more often than not, refers to the ways in which we beautify our walls. Emily and Scott participated in a house tour exactly one year ago today, and without a doubt the most striking feature in their fruit warehouse-turned-condo is the geometric retro wallpaper: "Belenos" textured paper from Wallpaper from the '70s. From there, the pair made the rest of their design choices (furniture, paint, etc.). We'd love to see more wallpaper in homes - we've never been brave enough to tackle it. So even if you hung it yourself and it's slightly crooked, send us some images!

This would be so nice on one or two walls of a small bathroom.

Key walls are always a good start to using wallpaper. The 70's created patterns where one could not tell the difference between the wallas, floors, and furniture. Use it sparingly in residential homes. Bars are another ballgame. Use it everywhere !!!
