What started out as an interest, for me, has turned into a passion.  It is a part of me.

Wallpaper Wednesday- Where is dad's atlas?

If only my children's bedroom had three sets of beautiful French doors- I could make their room look as good.  Let me tell you what makes this wallpapering work.  The room is such that there is a limited amount of wall space.  If you have a 12 x 13 rectangular bedroom with one window and a closet- it won't have the same effect.   Look how the headboards are essentially built-in wainscotting.  You could absolutely take a simple room- put your bed/ beds on a good clean wall- break up the wall with similar headboards and then finish off with the destroyed atlas.  I like it.

Think Outside the Box

Think outside the box when decorating your home. Just because no one has done it before, doesn' t mean that it is not a fabulous idea.


Check out these pictures of Waldspirale. It is a a residential building complex in Darmstadt, Germany built in the 1990s. It was designed by Viennese artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the building was completed in 2000.


The incredible building has 105 apartments, a parking garage, a kiosk as well as a café and a bar (the last two being located at the top of the spiral). The inner courtyard contains a playground for the children of the residents and a small artificial lake.


There are over 1000 windows, no two are the same. Same goes with the door handles. I bet the builder was hating it!

OK- so maybe you have no desire to be as outrageous as the Waldspirale, just be creative. That is what I am saying.
