It's about texture at the Street of Dreams houses 2016!

Texture is the mix of materials that create eye appeal and can even be sensuous!

Part two of my Street of Dreams blog for my readers includes more ideas and inspirational photos to show how texture enhances a room.

It can be subtle or fiercely dramatic!

In this photo elegant champagne subway tile adds shine to the room.

Unique tile shapes of gray give a unique look to this fireplace.

Grass weave shades that are layered with a beautiful sheers drape is a well-designed look for this window.

The frameless glass shower door and wood textured subway tile are an interesting trend.

Compliments to the tile setter for outstanding work!

Not only is texture a standout in this master bedroom but the drapes that hang all the way from the ceiling creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

From the stained pine ceiling to the beautiful basket weave wallpaper and yummy carpet, texture has created an amazing master bedroom.

I am in love with this natural wallpaper. I wish you could touch it!

I hope you have enjoyed the picture tour Part Two of Street of Dreams 2016.

Outstanding photos by Elle M. Photography.

Until next time,

Sweet Dreams!
