a work in progress

hi guys! how is your week going? i guess for most of us we’re happy that tomorrow is friday~

i’m rushing out as usual but started this project yesterday and thought if i don’t post now that it just won’t happen since every minute from now till monday is booked solid. i’m shooting for my event on monday and tuesday,  and one of the shots will be my home or office.  the office has definitely taken a backseat and since my bff claudia is here we decided to use the wallpapers from paris to give it a quick facelift.

the plan was to use a single pattern across the wall but when there wasn’t quite enough we went another route and decided to make the whole wall an inspiration board by using a mix of papers.

normally i wouldn’t post a ‘during’ but since we’re crunched for time bit the bullet and i’m just posting as is for today. tomorrow we’ll put some of the finishing touches on.

for now it’s in disarray but tomorrow we’ll get some flowers, work on the shelves and basically zhush it up! till then i’m off cause  now i’m late as usual! bonne nuit!

    Claudia,

    Your office is looking very chic. I am becoming more and more drawn to wallpapers, and I really like the look of different panels of wallpaper put together. My favorite wallpaper you used is that chartreuse with that beautiful design! Very striking!
    Enjoy your busy weekend and photoshoot!

    I love the mix of wallpaper patterns! You should be all, “I meant to do that!” ;-) Another look I’m digging is papering all in one pattern, but alternating colorways from one strip to the next. There are so many possibilities for wallpaper. Anyway, I think your office looks fabulous.

      Years ago I was on a tight budget and had a small wall to wallpaper, and for $5 a local store that sold wallpaper, sold me a sample book.

      I carefully took the book apart, and used the 20 inch by 20 inch square that were black and white designs, to make a ‘quilt’ like design on the small wall in our cottage.

      It was so popular with visitors, who saw it as a work of art. The use of wallpaper shown with the five designs reminded me of my wall.
