Walls Of ........

To paint, paper, mirror, faux, fabric or cover your walls in windows?  That IS the question!  I love taking a tiny powder room from a basic safe color to a dark, dramatic bold color on the walls, or adding a wall of mirrors to give a small room a sense of expanse.

From walls of plaster, brick, stone and wood to textured wallpapers, mirrors, high gloss paints and chalk paints.  The choices are limitless.   You can create walls of warmth, drama, elegance or enchantment.

So, before you set forth on your next painting project, take a look at some alternate choices for your walls and have some fun with them!  Take just one wall and make it your own!

If you are lucky enough to have a beautiful wall of windows such as this, well look no further!

But, taking one wall and covering it in wood can bring about the same amount of drama and interest.


An antiqued mirror wall adds so much elegance to this Master Bath.


Or take a fabric headboard to the next level....a fabric wall!


A wall of books is always interesting.


Or a wall of maps!


One of my favorites...brick!




And one small wall in a breakfast room covered in 'chalk paint' is not only functional but creative.


Another example.


Gorgeous mirrored walls.


Hand-painted walls.


Walls of Windows.


Intricate moldings.


Stone walls!


Painted and Plastered.


Beautiful grass cloth!


Another example of grass cloth.


White-washed paneling.


Painted Paneling.


Paneled walls looking cheery and bright...


Or dramatic and bold!


Mirrors reflecting light from the window and chandelier.


A wall of built-ins never goes out of style.
