What the. Grasscloth, you went too far!! When I checked the tracking later that day, hoping it was some typo, the delivery date bumped back to Tuesday. No bueno. Because we do all of our projects on Saturday (Greta needs 100% of me these days), that meant everything kind of got put on hold. I was really whiney all day. So sad and uh, pathetic. The good news is that the wallpaper did arrive. And friends, it is gorgeous. I instagrammed a sneak peak of it as soon as it arrived.
But, I just had to see it hanging. So I carefully tacked it up so I could get a better look at it.
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? It doesn’t look bad with the gray! In fact, I think it looks good with the gray. Face. Palm. It definitely cools the gray down–which is what I was experiencing with the swatches of grasscloth, but because the grasscloth is so warm–I don’t know if a little coolness is a bad thing? We still have some paint, so we’ll see.
The grasscloth is the perfect color. I went through about 15 different samples before I decided on this one. We ordered it through Eades Wallpaper, a family owned business for 70+ years. They had the cheapest prices and really good customer service. Like them. A lot! This is the exact one we ordered. So, while we are bummed we don’t have a full wallpapered wall to show you (thanks to that little California stint, ahem.) we couldn’t let another day go by without giving you a peek.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

So glad you gave us a sneak peak!!!! Cannot wait to see this all done. I think it looks great with the gray. What a lucky girl to have such a pretty room.
LOVE THE GRASSCLOTH! If we were planning on staying in our current house longer I would totally go for it. The room is looking great. I think the current color will look even better once the GC is on the wall. I’m a sucker for a gray wall but the curtains are light enough and you have great natural light in the room so I don’t think it will be too warm!! Can’t wait to see the finished product:)
Yeah, I kind of always loved the gray.
I should also say, the current wall color looks more like the inspiration pic. So you can’t go wrong either way.
I feel the same way! We’ll see where we end up. :)
i looove seeing this room come together! the grasscloth is awesome.
So glad you are along for the ride, Kristine. It makes it so much more fun.
So pretty!!!
I just want to point out that Brinley would be falling on the floor every night if her bed was positioned like that!!! She is up against the wall for sure. Probably could take down her bed rail, but we always find her in the oddest positions! Can’t wait to see the pops of color!
So surprised Greta hasn’t once fell out! And here, we were so worried.
NEVER thought of Grasscloth on the wall.., love this SO much!
Thanks Michelle!
