Sneak Peak

My friend Kim and I have this little joke that if you ever want anything to get done in your house, send out an invitation. Nothing motivates me more than knowing I will be entertaining. I knew that we would be having 2 parties in our home in April, so it was time to work on our dining room. The invitations for our first party went out on Wednesday, so Thursday morning at 7 am my wallpaper guy was knocking on my door ready to hang some paper.

Here is a wall before the paper went up
and here is that same wall,
and another one.

There are still things that need to be done, new window treatments and having the chairs recovered but hey Rome wasn't built in a day!

    Cette tapisserie est très romantique. Bravo pour ton choix!
    Mais peut-être pourrais-tu prévoir, pour le moment où tes invités arriveront, une musique de chants d'oiseaux...
    Bon week-end, Jill!

    Looks amazing, Jill!! I love the wallpaper. I keep forgetting to tell you the paint color in Sterling's nursery is called Toasted Walnut. I am almost postive its by Behr, but of course I can't find the paint chip now! It is the perfect brown I think, not too green or black. Have a great weekend!
