GOGO PROJECT: LAUNDRY ROOM UPDATE HELP!!!

Since the last laundry room update, the Carrara Marble has been installed, sink and faucet installed and hardware installed minus one pull b/c Brandy can't count.  We are going to do white subway tile with dark grout halfway up the wall for a high wainscot affect and then I will wallpaper above that.





Unfortunately, the wallpaper decision is at a complete standstill.  I had no idea I was going to have to sell my first born child in order to afford Chiang Mai Dragon.  Apparently, the rolls of the wallpaper are half if not a third of the typical length of a wallpaper roll.  I would need 4 rolls in order to do my tiny laundry room which would be well over $1000.00.  Therefore with a very sad heart, I say good-bye to the dragon.  It was just not meant to be.

Here are some other options but there again I'm sure cost will be an issue.  If anyone has a suggestion, please share.

  3. Can I ask if you are 100% sure on the dark grout? This room is so stunningly beautiful, I can't picture the dark grout? Have you seen this stencil? http://worthwhiledomicile.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-chinoiserie-powder-room-reveal.html
    I love all of your choices...good luck

  4. I am crazy about your list of wallpaper wants. I would be hard pressed to choose one. You could design your own on Spoonflower. I have not yet done wallpaper, only fabric. I should add that you need to get a sample and a color guide because what is on your screen is vastly different from the printed colors.

  5. I would definitely check out Spoonflower. They have thousands of great looking choices and they are all removable and priced at just $60 per roll. Good luck!

  6. When I saw you at the TAG sale I was going to ask you about your source for the Chiang Mai Dragon wallpaper, as I know how costly it is. I made the mistake of letting a friend order some of the fabric for me without finding out the cost first. You can imagine how quickly my jaw hit the floor when I received a $408.00 invoice for 2 YARDS of fabric! EEEEK! So now I have extra pillows in case you're interested (alabaster colorway). :)

    If your heart is set on the dragon, have you considered painting a mural? Danika did it here: http://gorgeousshinythings.blogspot.com/2011/05/paint-is-dry.html

    I've been thinking about doing this in my dining room for big impact. What do you think?

  7. holy cow, your laundry room is fabulous! I love the marble and the hardware!

    My first thought re: wallpaper was spoonflower. Not sure of the cost, but have you checked out Anna Spiro's wallpaper line? Or Afrochic?

  8. So sad about the Chiang Mai but I understand your need not to sell your children. The price is crazy. I love anything bamboo and trellis-like (duh). Would KWID's Imperial Trellis be any cheaper? I agree about Spoonflower. Danika just did a post about their wallpaper and featured a pagoda design - I guess it's her design. Very cute! Also, have you seen Oh Joy's wallpaper?

    And can I tell you how jealous I am of the waterfall granite and brass hardware? Beyond gorgeous!

  9. All of your choices are stunning - a stencil would certainly be less expensive if you're up for a little diy! :)
