playing around with python wallpaper + accessorizing

 
Okay, so by now I am pretty sure you know how much of a fanatic I am about python right now. I mentioned that I am currently about to embark on wallpapering an entire bathroom with python, so exciting!!! Now I am looking for other places and uses for python wallpaper or even contact paper. 
I have found some inspirational ideas that I am absolutely loving...


If you are interested in python wallpaper or need a good source for where to buy, email me!
and I am completely into the python tray that I spotted on MadeByGirl
and then next up on my list is this gorgeous python console desk. oh my goodness.
AMAZING! While its no longer available, I can totally make one myself with wallpaper.

Pretty in PINK...a perfectly wallpapered living room

Good morning my lovely Decoristas! I loved all of the feedback on the wallpaper I love...thanks so much! After that post, my adorable reader Jackie sent me these photos of her living room, I fell instantly. So bright and cheerful, I love the way aqua blue just makes a space so happy. I also love how she just used dramatic wallpaper on one wall, which is a clever and easy thing to do. Have any of you guys tried using wallpaper in your home? 
If so, send me photos...ashlina@thedecorista.com. I'd love to see!

Wallpapers of the week...

Today, I am making the track down to Brooklyn (my first time) to do a little shopping with one of my most favorite clients. Our first mission...wallpaper. We are basically wallpapering her entire apartment, which is so exciting, especially for this decorista. I think we are going to convince her husband that a python wallpaper bathroom would be killer! yay! Anyway...today my mind is entirely focused and obsessing over wallpaper and I wanted to share a few I love...


I think my most favorite are neutral wallpapers and grey-ish wallpapers, ones with simple patterns. I especially love metallic wallpapers. The more natural looking, the more I love it. But never underestimate the power of color and dramatic wallpaper... its amazing too.

bliss in the kitch' {teal chinoiserie goodness}

Something about this kitchen stopped me in my tracks and made me look twice. I don't know if its the gorgeous toile-esque teal wallpaper, which I absolutely adore or if its the starkness in the white countertop against the dark wood cabinetry. It's not something you see everyday but looks fabulous well put together. The kitchen is not usually the place where people get creative but I just love it when they do. This gorgeous kitchen is no exception and I am just dying to bake something delicious in that beautiful oven.

wallcolor wednesday... metallic love



Right now I am completely crushing on the seductiveness of this metallic wallpaper. I am loving this delicious silver rope print covering these gorgeous closet walls. I have a huge crush on metallic wallpaper right now.
Oh so glamorous and absolutely do-able in your home. Go for a small closet, entryway or bathroom.
How perfect is this metallic toile? I adore the teal green color pattern most of all.
I'm also fond of sweet metallic prints as well... a floral print has just stolen my heart.

secret of domestic bliss #41... wallpaper in your kitch'

 
So I happen to think wallpaper is always key in home decorating. Beautiful wallpaper can really give your home exactly what it needs to be magazine worthy, which is what we all want right?
Today as I was giving decor advice to a client, I realized how awesome wallpaper can look in the kitchen. My first instinct for this swanky bachelor pad was wallpaper in the kitchen. Then I realized how chic it can be. So, please don't ever be afraid to bang out your kitch' with some gorgeous patterns.

Today I'm loving toile

I don't know what it is about this terrifically english pattern, but I have always been so attracted to its sophisticated look. On wallpaper, as curtains, or even just a small pillow...toile adds just a beautiful touch in home decor. I have even loved some rooms completely decked out in toile from wall to wall. 
So very east coast meets country house chic. My personal obsession is with the more modern versions as shown here, the cute little tori mellot yellow toile wallpapered kitchen has always stolen my heart. 
loving it!

The Art of Living...impress your guests in the powder room

The surefire way to make a huge statement in the home is the guest bathroom. It's probably an afterthought when decorating your home, but trust me, everyone notices the powder room.
I adore wallpaper in the powder room. Really dramatic and bold wallpaper is best when its placed in small rooms, like these teeny washroom spaces.

sweet indulgences...a purple bedroom

 Purple will always be my most favorite color! I am so thrilled it is showing up everywhere this fall. I am even wearing my favorite purple shirt today! I love imagining what it would be like to decorate an entire room in purple. I don't think I could actually ever do it, but I thoroughly enjoy being inspired by the lushness + indulgence of this all purple bedroom. 
The wallpaper is Oh so fab! I can't get over the headboard and the two-toned drapes and I think I am in love with that rug too! fun fun fun!
