It's the absence and the distance I have put between me and our home! It makes me always see clearer and I can make decisions easier!
Our living room has seen better days. Don't get me wrong, I love the mixed feeling, the old red leather sofas and chairs, so inviting for reading. The baby grand, tucked in the corner near the window and the blue and beige chain link patterned carpet. The artwork is mixed too and there is an ottoman with a cowhide atop. And small writing desk...
The curtains are well worn and over the hot weeks in July the shades on the front windows have strangely disintegrated... A part fell off, obviously just glued on previously! Looking at all this I am thinking of needed improvements. The paint is chipping, darkened around the often used fire place and wall sconces.
I am thinking wallpaper. I am thinking Bloomsbury. I am thinking Farrow and Ball!
And I am thinking of the Rosslyn pattern.

Rosslyn # 1908 |
Rosslyn # 1924 |
Rosslyn # 1942 |
What do you think? What would you do?

I think your time spent down South with kinder gentler things inspired you to being a bit of graciousness to your walls. I do love wallpaper and love the neutral one best.

Patricia,
ReplyDeleteThank you, this is just how I feel!
I agree, neutral, it's my first choice as well, just waiting for the samples, maybe something else will grab me....
; )
ich kann mir die erste tapete sehr gut vorstellen. aber ich mag auch die rote sehr gern. vielleicht damit nur einen kleinen teil des raumes?
