Daisy Chains and Picnics

We continued the flow of wallpaper through to the PS room, it gives it a more streamline effect. I wasn't going to upset or confuse Hamish by removing him and his countless beds and rugs from the room until I got the picture perfect photo, this is the reality of life with a blind, deaf but extremely happy 16 years 6 month senior dog.

We also ordered it in mint green for our bedroom, it is next on the agenda! We started by painting the ceiling white. Below are some before photo's. Excuse the countless rugs and beds, this 16 years and 6 month old is the culprit. We also thought it was time to do away with this faux window. Scott made it and installed it back in 2012, to give us more light in the hall, but a couple of years ago he installed a sky light in the hall ceiling, so it wasn...
