Haven Conference & Wallpaper



Happy Monday friends!  So later this week I will be attending my very first every blogging conference- Haven in Atlanta, GA.  Im feeling a bit like the new kid on the 1st day of school- Im already tearing through my closet to find my "1st day of School" outfit and hoping I don't look like a total nerd and stick out like a sore thumb.  So if any of you are going as well- please come find me and assure me I have nothing to fear!  (I'll be the one standing on the sidelines with eyes a big as quarters) .


In other news- I was at Lowes the other day and wandered down the wallpaper isle and noticed that Allen Roth has a line of wallpaper.  This is good stuff people! Not your typical green & white ivy or random Lighthouses type of wallpaper (no offense if you like this type) that most Home Improvement stores carry. 




All the books are color sorted by color group-so there is a Green book, Blue Book, Neutrals, and even a Metallics one!


Here are some of my favorites:


Loving the mint & gold Asian print.



Chocolate & silver damask.




Red & Gold


Citron & Silver- yes please!


Mint, Magenta, and Gold- need I say more?




Loved this gray & white trellis because of the Acorn in the center.




This was a beautiful damask with a pearlesque finish. 



Another Pearlesque pattern.



Jade & Gold


Fun Bird Print



And my favorite--like I wanted to buy it right then & there and run home & hang it---How fun would this be for a power bath?  (Orange, Magenta & Gold)




Have any of you tried his wallpaper?  I'd love to know your thoughts.


Cheers!

  1. Gorgeous! I'm thinking one of these would be perfect for the inside of a secretary I'm redoing!
    I'll be at Haven, too (my first as well) so I'll be the deer in headlights looking for you. :) I know it'll be fun, but I'm a wee bit nervous! Hope we meet!

  3. Wish I was going to Haven, but my son has final exams and my husband will be away. Probably not a good idea! Hope to see you at the next one. I want details!

    My advice on the wallpaper would be to try to get a sample. A friend of mine installed something similar and after it was wet, some of the metallic starting coming off. It was a disaster (in her words).

  6. Thanks for posting about these wallpapers. I've been looking for some for our powder room, but have been stumped on where non-designers can find good designs!
