Elegance defined



Grey on grey in this very contemporary foil paper. With a pattern in the paper that speaks traditional. How transitional could this be. Like a whimsical statement to amuse, paper can do so many great things to a powder room. Metal vessel sink and curved front high gloss cabinetry, it all flows into a classic monochromatic whole.

Books..books...books




Love books? Who doesn't. Whether you have room for a large library or just the wall space, this could be the ticket. The feel this faux library gives to this room through the wallcovering, is something you just don't expect. Another fun one. Notice how the light switches disapear.

New looks







How cool is this? Geometric swirls and then there are these circles. Great for smaller rooms where you can get up close to the design. Fun!

Timeless Paper







Now this bathroom started with a visit to an old time restaurant in San Francisco. The floor was prequake 1906. If that floor could last that long well...what inspiration. The wall covering followed suit, timeless. Schumacher Co. silk screen in a 10 color way.

Retro is in again







What do all wonderful homes have in common? Great design and beautiful finishes. Like this powder room with this wonderful retro wallpaper in a Hydrangea print. Takes you back to a gracious time in life. Lemonade on the front porch...hydrangeas in the yard.
