Back At The Horse Farm

I’m finally getting to post some pictures up of this job. I worked quite a while at this home and then I went right into a few more jobs so I couldn’t get my pictures sorted and sized for my Blog. I do not have all of them ready but I think this sampling will be plenty.

Considering the walls and rooms look pretty easy, the job was a bit slow. All the rooms had major wall prep issues to deal with. The main areas and halls had textured, glossy paint on them and the paper for those areas was very thin. That wallcovering also needed to be hand trimmed on both sides, which is a slow process. The bedrooms and baths had paper on them that did not want to come off. I took care of each room in the way that best suited the situation and hung lining paper in every one of them before installing any of the wallpapers.

The paper used in both foyer areas and all the hallways is by ‘JuJu Papers’. This pattern is Sisters Of The Sun and the colorway is gold on cream. Owner Avery Thatcher is wonderful to work with and shipped very quickly, considering this is a hand printed material and made to order. Please check out the website if you are looking for some eclectic patterns that will go with almost any décor or style.

JuJu Papers is environmentally responsible in every possible way.

My client thought her rooms looked very ‘happy’ when all the papers were up. I think she’s right!

HERE IS THE PAPER FOR BOTH FOYER AREAS AND ALL THE HALLS:

I TOOK THESE TWO PICTURES THE DAY I MEASURED. NOTICE THE WOOD IS PAINTED WHITE AND THE CEILING IS LIGHT BLUE. I DID LIGHTEN THESE UP A BIT. THE WALLS ARE 9′ UP TO THE MOLDING.

THEY HAD THE HALLWAY CEILINGS (AND MAIN LIVING AREA CEILING) PAINTED AQUA, AND THE WOOD A DARK BEIGE.

AFTER:

THIS IS THE HOW THE FOYER LOOKED BEFORE I STARTED:

ALL PHOTOS BELOW ARE VARIOUS SHOTS OF THE WALLPAPERED FOYERS. YOU CAN SEE ONE OF THE HALLWAYS A LITTLE. THE HALLS WERE HARD FOR ME TO PHOTOGRAPH BECAUSE OF THE LIGHTING.
