Secret Stash |
Upon suggesting Wallpaper to Clients the infamous "What You Talkin' 'Bout Willis" reaction is the Front runner . I understand- Most of us Still feel the scar of the 70's papers . All of that Has changed. . . Drastically. Today's wallpapers Are fresh, Inspiring, even Mellow. They are Full of Character and range from Modern Graphic to Subtle Sophistication. The Trick to incorporating Today's wallpapers is to Keep the majority of the furniture & accessories Low Key- let the Paper be the star . Share the Love. . . Here's how . . .
Painted "accent" walls are Predictable. You are Not. You can Achieve the same Contrast & room Definition by Choosing a paper instead of Paint. Papering only One wall cuts Cost considerably . . not to mention the Incredibly more Chic result.

A Grand Punch of Character |
One of my Favorite Wallpaper Applications is on the Ceiling. Completely unexpected and Totally captivating. My All time favorite use is "tiled" papers. Perhaps it's the Chicago in me . . .but I love the feel of a Tin ceiling- the Texture is just exquisite.
These papers are Usually paintable so you can Flawlessly integrate them with your walls. The result? Refined Cohesion .

Stripes & other Classic Graphic patterns Create a sort of Playful drama. I simply adore the Unexpected Surprise of Ceiling Love.

Inconspicuous Pattern . Dare I say Genius? |

Headboards always Bring out the
Cheshire in me . . . my Parents have always likened me to the Beloved fella' so I suppose the reaction is merely inherent. Wallpaper is a Contemporary & cost Effective way to completely Customize a Bedroom . Custom always Feels Expensive. . . with
Radford it only Appears that way .

Interest + Function . Hallelujah |

Fabulous paper & Crown Molding never looked so Chic |
I love to use Wallpaper to define small Areas within a space. Recently I have Been all about Sprucing up static Fireplaces and awkward nooks. The Result suggests Nothing short of Intentional Brilliance.
