One Room Challenge, Fall 2017
My husband grew up in a very old, beautiful home. Brick exterior, formal sitting rooms, laundry chutes, wood floors, and wallpaper. Lots of layers of wallpaper from the many years of redecorating by former owners.
When he was a teenager and wanted to change the look of his old wallpapered bedroom, he was given full reign…as long as he stripped the wallpaper first.
As a result, I married a man who greatly dislikes wallpaper.
Wallpaper removal, to be specific.
I, on the other hand, liberally pin wallpaper inspiration on Pinterest. There are so many designs and colors that inspire me.
In my imagination, I see a different wallpaper for every room of my house.
But, my husband’s history with wallpaper removal and my indecisiveness are a potential lethal combination that will make our Dining Room Refresh an interesting process.
Right now, our dining room is clean and simple. Very much a blank space…but in a good way.
We have light walls, a builder grade pendant light, and the same kitchen table we’ve used and abused for the past 13 years.
