Hey Guys! I should say gals too, although at this point I have literally 0 readers, that is okay, someday when I have enough posts and get a bit more cohesion with my website I have no doubt I will have more traffic and followers, ha.
I’ve been up since about 6:00, just thinking about Christmas gifts, chatting with my husband about the upcoming elections and making coffee, as well as browsing the web and looking at Etsy, Pintrest, and emailing an old friend I have not heard from in a while. I really haven’t heard from him in a while and he is in his early 70’s, we met when I was a sales rep in his area and we worked together, he ended up being such a great mentor and business partner, and when I worked in Santa Cruz we would go out for a meal. I hope he is okay – he had a surgery just before COVID and had lost his wife early in 2020. I’ll update if I hear from him, which will be a huge relief.
Besides my framing project (see framing post, here), I’ve been thinking about a wallpaper project in our entranceway. We have an older, at least by California standards, early 1930’s (1929?) home, and the entranceway is THE largest room in the house, almost as big as the living room. The square footage is very generous but it has a total of *6* doors or doorways going in and out of it, so it’s a tough space for flow with only a few solid, long walls- one of which you face when you enter the house. I’ve been thinking about wallpapering this wall. (Photos to come.)
Here are some ideas for wallpaper from my entranceway. Note we have a parquet floor which is kind of a complicated pattern. What do you think about these patterns?
