Let Your Walls Talk

One of the ways in which you can showcase your personality is through wallpaper. Just as vintage clothes are an expression of you, wallpaper is also back in  style. What's new is that material and selections now reflect the modern age.

Wallpaper can transform a room in ways that paint cannot.
Wallpaper adds depth, design elements and dimension to any room. It also creates a focal point that inspires conversation.

Whether the mood you want is fun with something wacky but stimulating or beautifully classic, with wallpaper you can transform a room's look without altering the space.

 Importantly for many, it is less expensive that new furniture!


There are so many options from which to choose: fabrics, grass cloth, cork, metallic and flocked, in addition to conventional paper and vinyl. The effects you can achieve are limitless!

 This is where professional interior design skills can be useful.  I can suggest whether you should cover just one wall for an accent and create the drama you want through wallpaper without making a major commitment in time and money. I save you time by listening to what you want and narrowing the choices as there are so many.

 Keep in mind that not every wall covering is right for every room. What is suitable for a bathroom with moisture is different than working with a hallway or high traffic area used by kids or pets. For instance, a washable finish with a colored or patterned background won't show fingerprints.

If you find a design you like, chances are you will like it on your wall. Unlike paint, however, you can't just paint over it. It will be more tedious and costly to remove.

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change.  The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...
