A little paint goes a long way!!

So I was bored last weekend and wanted something to do and I thought about how boring my hallway was. I've always loved KellyWearstler's foyer in her house with it's funky, modern wallpaper in it and thought why not do something like that!! I wanted my treatment to have a little more strength to it as well as have some sort of architectural quality.
This was my hallway before, not bad but kind of boring don't you think?
I wanted the design to mimic 18th century Louis XV wall paneling......

I really love it, I just lightly free handed some lines on the wall with a pencil and went over it with some leftover paint. It would have been even cooler if it were two different shades of a brighter color!!!! Hmmmmm, lol

A taste of the past!

So I was going through my computer and cam across this picture of my old bedroom from when I lived in Montgomery. Apparently I wanted to be a 60 year old antique dealer who lives in Savannah Georgia?? I don't know but damn was I traditional!!
My taste has definitely changed since then, now I enjoy white walls, with a touch of modern, and traditional pieces mixed in and less pattern!
