I just painted my stairs gloos white and have been looking ALL OVER to find her wallpaper. Do you know what it is where she got it????? Is it vinyl? Also did she put a protective varnish or polyurethene over it after??? I would really appreciate any info you have since you have seen it. It is truely a work of art and THE PERFECT wallpaper. Thanks so much!!!! I LOVE Love Shawna’s wallpapered risers. I just painted my stairs gloos white and have been looking ALL OVER to find her wallpaper. Do you know what it is where she got it?????

Our stairs are quite boring, with carpet on it. In the house we owned before, I had painted it bright yellow which looked very nice in the small hallway we used to have...

I don't like the black against (that shade of) wood but I guess it's one of those 'brave experiments' for sure. Thinking on yours, with the black treads, you probably could go quite a bit more impactful if you wanted, but I trust that you will have great vision whatever you choose! (BTW on Design-Crisis (via design for mankind) they recently posted some papers by a <a href="http://www.printpattern.com/index.html" rel="nofollow">Wakerly</a>? If you haven't already seen them I imagine they might tickle your fancy as well!) The leaf pattern is starting to really stick in my brain as a growing obsession!

It´s such an inspiration for my own, dark, hallway on our second floor, were we have all our wardrobes since our bedroom is tiny. I will post pictures on my blog as soon as I feel I am happy with it. Which will probably take a while since I am not as quick as you are. And, currently our hallway is not a priority in our budget. Well, this winter I hope! I love your hallway!

Like it. Also love the fact that I would actually be able to wallpaper a space. I have seagrass wall coverings which can't be wall papered without MAJOR prep work so I stick to painting them. Would love a little bit of wall paper though so this is a great idea. Thanks so much for the inspiration! Ooooh! Like it. Also love the fact that I would actually be able to wallpaper a space.
