joslyn at simply lovely sent over this fantastic before & after. her wallpaper makeover project is proof that a little wallpaper can go a long way. joslyn picked up a roll of cole and son‘s popular “woods” pattern and redid the hallway/bar area in her home- which makes for a great splash of detail in between rooms. we’re about to wallpaper a wall in our home (pictures coming soon!) so i’m always excited to what people do with wallpaper in small spaces. thanks for sharing, joslyn!
[ps- one more thing i'm excited about: trade a favor.com. someone should definitely take advantage of the handmade wedding invitations trade that's up!]

i love that wallpaper! (i think i saw a similar design that had blackbirds in the branches) from the glimpse i see of her dining area i would LOVE to see more ala sneak peek, i like the green accent wall, the zebra rug and the table & chairs, they all compliment eachother – give us more joslyn!!!
I’ve been on the hunt for that wallpaper! I actually used it in my wedding inspiration board and have completely forgotten where I found it. I’d love the source!
That is gorgeous. What a lovely space.
Very neat!
Julie — you can get it by the roll at: http://store.roseandradish.com/product-exec/product_id/1130/nm/Cole_Son_Woods_Wallpaper but I went through Marcy at discount decorator (www.discountdecorator.com) and she got me a great deal on two rolls.
OOooh, yay! Have been waiting to see this transformation and it did not disappoint, Miss Joslyn! And I’m with Elizabeth….more, more, more!
I like the wall paper, but the green wall, even better. What is the color?!!
What a great before and after! The wallpaper really compliments that green wall. Love the dining room table and chairs, too!
LOVE the green wall with the zebra rug! It’s amazing how much the the change brightened the room.
WOW! It looked great before, but wow, it is just FABulous! :) Thanks for sharing!
It looks teriffic! What a great idea.
that rug!!!
I think this looks so good, it makes the space. I am with Elizabeth, if this is any indication of the rest of the house I would love to see more. Love the bold green paint choice, I wish I had the guts to pick a color like that! The paper totally elevates that green!!!
You have beautiful house (love looking at your flickr photos) and this just made it that much more interesting. A very dramatic punch to the room.
Must see more of this house!
