What beautiful rooms! I especially like the last photo with the distressed walls - I love the worn look with the bowl of shiny ornaments. It is a beautiful contrast.

Wow, that first image knocked me out! I love everything there-- the walls, the windows, the chandelier, the curtains. Good stuff, great texture. xo,

Textured walls can sometimes end up looking dated, but these are amazingly gorgeous. Particularly the last image, it somehow manages to look old and worn yet beautifully fresh.

LOVE that look! I am crazy about the industrial look, when it's combined with elegant touches like these, it is such a showstopper! Wish I lived in a loft...

The artwork and bowl full of ? something really cool(last image) don't know what? are my faves!

I wonder how I could do this in my own house. I don't think it has the architecture to do it but I love these!

We had "glue walls" (images 1,3,4,5) in our previous house...so loved them. Thinking we were going to be remodeling soon, we stripped off the old wallpaper in the dining room and underneath was the most amazing color and texture from the old dried paste. We ended up living with it for 10 years and tried desperately to think of a way to save the walls for our new house to no avail.

So to achieve this look...put up some wallpaper and after 30 or so years...peel it off and vuala, it's there!

They're so unusual, aren't they? I like the concrete look for an office or public space the best :)

Splendid Willow said...

Mmmmm!!! Nice post, Donna! I love when you put together collections like that based on a one theme.

The last wall is stunning. Do I now need to rethink my white wall for the bedroom?????!!!!

Love, Mon

I can't figure out that last one - though I love it so much! Is it natural patine? Paint? Wallpaper? I want to know how to do that...
