hello house

our first day as homeowners: we closed on the house at 9am. we got into the house at 2pm. we had the wallpaper stripped by 5pm.

that’s what i’m talkin’ about.

those lines on the walls give away the house’s history. we’re going to bring back that woodwork some day — starting by stripping the boring white paint from the baseboards and door and window frames.

this site sells gorgeously kitschy vintage wallpaper. (the real thing, not reproductions.) thanks to them we have a dozen rolls of this waiting to go up on the walls.

and for the middle of the room? we’re all about Danish Modern furniture. something a little like this, perhaps.
