One wallpaper, multiple looks

I wrote a while ago about the Boston Jr. League Showhouse and had mentioned the back hall designed by Cecelia Walker. Transition spaces are tricky in show houses (really, any house) because as a designer, you want to make an impression on visitors and you only have a second to do so. When I visited the house, I thought that the wallpaper Cecelia had used, Graham & Brown's Sherwood Gray, was visually interesting without being overdone. The exuberance of the pattern is toned down by the neutral gray colors, which I liked.

This paper is really a fun transitional pattern and can be used in a variety of spaces and styles.

And because I liked this paper so much, I thought it would work well in a bathroom I did recently. It's a very small bathroom with white and gray marble, white woodwood and gray floors. Happily, my client's loved it too, and so here it is!

While I normally don't like to see the same pattern or fabric in a million different venues, it's fun to see how the same pattern looks in different situations.
