Nicely, nicely, nicely. A 12 months and a half after the “reveal”, I lastly did the replace that this toilet at all times needed – wallpaper, and it seems so good that even my youngsters observed and went out of their strategy to inform me! There may be nothing sweeter than your 11-year-old son saying “Mama, I like the wallpaper” earlier than you even have time to level it out. I at all times knew that this toilet needed wallpaper above the tile and trim, however I wanted to shoot it and I hadn’t discovered the proper paper. It was nonetheless fairly beforehand, however now it’s simply so a lot better.
Earlier than Wallpaper
Right here’s how we shot it in August of 2023, it actually remained the identical for essentially the most half. The artwork fell down off the tile (dumb Command strips) however in any other case, it was candy and labored. So I saved my eye out for the proper sample and colorway…
Selecting The Proper Paper
I fell in love with a number of of those from Graham & Brown, ordered some samples, and was delighted that there have been many who I liked.
Left: Ruskin (Inexperienced) | Center: Folklore Tree (Blue) | Proper: Folklore Tree (Sage)
Whereas the center blue one seems so highly effective on digital camera (and I feel possibly one on tales?), I went with the inexperienced colorway on the proper that has hits of blue in it simply so it felt somewhat extra timeless and fewer saturated I assume? I feel the extreme coloration on prime with the inexperienced tile may need been an excessive amount of, whereas the inexperienced clearly spoke to the ground, extra in concord.
The Reveal
I LOVE IT. The “wooden” of the branches speaks to the hotter tones within the room (just like the self-importance and the gold fixtures) and the inexperienced and blue work so nicely with the inexperienced tile and blue accents (just like the curtains and the classic canine portray).
I like that the inexperienced classic gentle fixture nonetheless pops off it properly with out getting too misplaced. And whereas I used to be open to altering out the curtains (I imply, it was simply yardage that I iron hemmed and hung up) I feel this seems so enjoyable and cute. The colours are nice collectively and the dimensions of the big gingham is offset so properly with the natural motion of the wallpaper sample.
The toilet simply feels a lot extra completed, prefer it was at all times meant to be this fashion.
The one factor/s that I’m nonetheless debating are: Do I add crown molding? My typical reply can be sure, however exterior the bathtub area of interest, it could find yourself being just a bit sliver. However you may skip the molding on that entrance half (possibly, uncertain about that) and simply do the perimeter of the room… I additionally would possibly add cafe curtains IF I discover the proper sample, however I’m not terribly motivated to persist on that one. Like certain, it may look cute however there’s a lot taking place already – we could have hit our whimsy quota.
It’s one other field checked and solely 3 years after we moved by which I don’t assume is THAT unhealthy. I truly am loving including these layers in a slower (and fewer anxious approach).
It’s simply so glad and feels applicable to the home (Scandinavian farmhouse vibes FTW). The natural nature of it contrasts nicely with the tile, too. With the inexperienced ground/wall tile border wanting like grass and the wallpaper clearly being a forest, we now have a totally executed theme in right here 🙂 What do you assume??
