I am a tipsy eBay shopper.
Yes, you read that correctly.
When I’m tipsy (we will say "tipsy" and not "drunk" because I am a Southern lady and Southern ladies don't get "drunk"), all my sense goes straight out the window and I shop
like I’m a big dog. Reality departs, along with my budget. One of
my most recent acquisitions is 16 rolls of Nina Campbell Paradiso
wallpaper.

While I absolutely adore this wallpaper (it is UNBELIEVABLE
IN PERSON!), I have nowhere to put it. Except
maybe my closet. Which I’ve honestly
considered. Hoarder much?
When I showed the wallpaper to a client I am designing a
bedroom for, she too fell in love with it.
Selling her husband on wallpapering is difficult enough. But wallpapering the room in bold peacocks
with colorful plumes? Tough job, I must
say. But I have faith that my client is
up to the task.To give her extra ammunition, and possibly help him “visualize” it in the space, I’ve created design boards to share with him.
Their bedroom is large and features a gorgeous bed by Drexel
Heritage called the Bed of Ribbons. It
is seriously gorgeous.

We are removing the carpet from the bedroom and are
considering white oak in a herringbone pattern.
There is also a sitting area in the room, which I’ve also
added to the design.
I’ve shared these boards with her and she immediately fell
in love. I will be sure to keep you
posted on progress with the room…and the convincing of the husband.
Well, at least you still have amazing taste while tipsy! That bed screams for that wallpaper so my vote is for convincing the husband. I know I have read something before about letting a woman choose the decor in the bedroom because if she feels beautiful then she is more likely to feel "romantic." If that doesn't work, though, I wouldn't mind buying a roll from you for the right price!
ReplyDeleteI'm a tipsy iTunes buyer, as is evident by some of the songs I have on my phone. Fab wallpaper and boards.
ReplyDeletegood luck to you all. as a shop owner i constantly hear the refrain " it's not manly enough, what does it do, we don't need that......"
ReplyDeletejust went to my first live auction and behaved like an heiress, dangerous!

Kimber, you're hilarious. These rooms are going to be amazing, and I love that your client went for it! That bed...dear God. Stunning. Can't wait to see the finished product!
ReplyDeleteOf course I shop on Ebay while under the influence. The last time I checked, that was totally legal. However, I tend to put things on my watch list first. Now if you want to talk Amazon....I definitely have a problem. Love the wallpaper and hope it's a 'yes'.
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of the same but I think you are better at it than me. That wallpaper!!!
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, YES! And I so enjoy it. Excellent score on the wallpaper. I used wallpaper in a closet and it's now my favorite place to use it. All my other closets feel naked. Jump over to my blog and take a peek!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see a photo when it's up. Amazing color way.

Oh I hope she convinces him. You've created such a gorgeous space for them Kimber!!
ReplyDeleteI'd but that paper drunk or sober!
ReplyDeleteWhat is the source of those white chairs? I love them
