I am so obsessed with wallpaper. I had dramatic red and silver paper in the bathroom in our former house, and I have moody bird wallpaper in my current home office.
I knew I wanted to do something fun in the powder room, and you can see the original wallpaper samples I pondered here. Around the same time I fell in love with this gold and cream pattern designed by one of my favorite style bloggers (who also lives in my neighborhood AND we both just had babies on the same day) Oh Joy!
At first I dismissed it because it didn't seem like it would go with the existing tile, but then it dawned on me that my entire house is a mix of silver and gold, so why not just go for it? And anyway, my home decor philosophy is "Go With What You Love, It Will Fall Into Place Somehow."
It was so bold that I decided that it should be on the ceiling, too. A white ceiling just wouldn't do in such a pretty bathroom.
I like that it's busy, almost clash-y. I kept everything else simple, with a mirror from West Elm and a square white frame from Ikea, perfect for an Instagram shot.
This is the bathroom that most guests will use. I hope it makes them smile.
