Designing Around My Dashed Stripe Wallpaper

Designing Around My Dashed Stripe Wallpaper

I’m back to talk more wallpaper with you! I started this particular series on my newsletterHome Matters, where I explained how I would design around one of my wallpaper designs with Fancy Walls. Sign up here, by the way, if you don’t want to miss out on this extension of the DGD brand, or you can just click here to read that one newsletter for free.

Although I’ve grown super comfortable with wallpaper as a design element in a room over the years, I know it’s not in everyone’s wheel house, so that’s why I thought it might be helpful to share a roundup of accents that complement one individual wallpaper pattern. This is a jumping off point to help get your inspiration going, and to show you what I’m envisioning in my head when I consider adding wallpaper to a room.

The pattern in today’s mood board is my Draper Dash Stripe wallpaper. Since it’s a more playful pattern and color, I decided to create a space that felt a little unique and unexpected: a wallpapered wine and cocktails lounge! I made sure to incorporate that same shade of blush pink from the wallpaper into other areas of the room to make it look cohesive, and I also broke up the wall pattern with a fun board and batten trim design painted in a rich complementary green color. If anything from the mood board catches your eye, I’ve got resource links for you below.

This design is really making me want to recreate the DIY board and batten feature wall that I incorporated into our last house (click here to see it if you’re new to the blog or forgot what it looked like). I might try it in our back lounge room with either the Draper Dash Stripe wallpaper from my Fancy Walls collection, or the Paisley Lane Botanical. I think either of those two wallpaper patterns would look great with the green paint color I’m suggesting in that links list above, and the area rug, too. This abstract art print is another particular favorite of mine from today’s mood board. What’s your favorite thing on the list? Would you try this wine and cocktails lounge design in your own home?

Pssssst…You can see my full collection of original wallpaper designs with Fancy Walls here!

1 Month With Our Rescue Kitten Stanley

1 Month With Our Rescue Kitten Stanley

In case you didn’t hear, we adopted another rescue kitten! John and I started our marriage with three cats and one dog, and we spent nine blissful years with our crew of fur babies. But over the course of the past five years starting in 2020, we unfathomably lost all four of those pets (plus a fifth that we adopted during that time), all to unrelated health problems. It has been a really difficult period for us as pet parents, especially since we’re human child-free and consider our pets our kids. I’ve always pictured us getting back to that “three cats and a dog” pack, and we’re finally there now with what we hope are four healthy rescue pet kiddos.

Since losing our one-year-old boy Joe a little over a year ago, I’ve been aching to add another boy cat to our family. I finally admitted this to our vet recently who has given us two of our most recent rescue pets, and so she added this tidbit of info to the back of her mind in case she happened to come across a boy kitten that she thought would be a good fit for us. It wasn’t long before she found herself with a very underweight and scared stray who needed a nurturing home, and we’re so lucky that she trusted us to be his new family.

Stanley has been with us for a month now, and is settling into his new domesticated life very well, as I’m sure you can see in today’s post photos. He’s very timid and shy, but is learning to trust us more and more each day. He and I bonded right from the get-go, though, and whenever he and I lock eyes, I can hear his little purrs start rumbling through the room. The feeling is mutual!

John and I are, of course, in love with him, and our two cats and one dog are coming around to accepting him. Surprisingly, Gladys Jean, our youngest female cat (she just turned one) took to him faster than expected. Maybe it’s because she’s closer in age to Stanley (who, we think, is about three months old), but they spend most of the day chasing and playing together. We hope our two-and-a-half-year-old, Marlo, comes around soon. Welcome to the family, Stanley! I’m sure you’ll be seeing him a lot more here on the blog, so stay tuned for updates if you’re a cat lover, too.
