WALLPAPER VS. WALLPAPER

Hey Everyone....hope all is well......  It is a rare occasion when I buy a Shelter Mag these days.  I did however buy the Oct. issue of Canadian House and Home.  I came across a Kelly Wearstler Wallpaper.  It was interesting in a very graphic, out there kind of way.....kind of like her.  In general I am NOT a fan of her work.  To me it "try's way too hard" and is completely unattainable for the majority of folks.  I know there are rabid fans of her work.....I just don't happen to be one of them....different strokes for different folks.  Anyways......When I saw this wallpaper I thought.....well that's kinda cool:


It is Channels by Kelly Wearstler for Lee Jofa.  Now before you run out and place your order I have to warn you it is kinda pricey.....no actually is it outrageously pricey.....like RIDICULOUSLY pricey!!  In the magazine it lists as $1100 per double roll!!  When in reality I have seen it for around $795.00!!  How crazy is that?  You would only be able to do 2 stripes on your wall per roll.  I hope you all save up your pennies everyone.  Is is cool...yes.  Is it different....yes!  Is it worth the price?  Not in my books!!!
So......I came across another wallpaper that hits the same graphic note as this one....but at a reasonable price.



This lovely graphic wallpaper is Feather by Serena and Lily.  It retails for $88.00US per roll.  To be quite honest I like this one better.  For me it is less frenetic than the Kelly Wearstler one. But that's just me.  It is the kind of wallpaper that would look great in many decorating styles....Modern, Beachy, Minimalist.........It is different without being too crazy.  I really like it!!  Plus it's blue.....you know how much I loves me some Navy!

While at the Serena and Lily site I came across another wallpaper that I love;


It is the pattern Peridot in the colourway Crimson.  It also comes in other colourways as well.  But you know me......I am a sucker for Red, White and Blue!!  I really love this pattern.  Again it has so many uses in many different decorating styles.  It would look fabulous lining a bookshelf.....  Or as an inset on a ceiling... or as insets in panel moulding below a chair rail.....  or even in a powder room....the possibilities are endless with this one, I could go on and on...........

Anyways....just wanted to share some wallpaper love with you all.

Have a great day everyone.
