Buying the Stairway to Heaven
Exciting stuff, people! The last bit of unfinished drywall - and a thorn in my indecisive side - in the old casa has been covered with paint. Granted, this is exactly the part that's going to be covered with this wallpaper (in a different hue) in fairly short order (once I, er...scrape together the resources to buy the $190/double roll extravaganza!), but I'm still so excited that I like the color. I had the wallpaper sample matched at Sherwin Williams and will also paint the top half of the staircase with it to cut down on paper costs and give the eye a little rest from pattern fatigue. (Painting the bottom was necessary to see if I could dig the blue and to protect the overall look if the wallpaper ever shifts or shrinks.) I think I'll get away with only buying three rolls, so the whole thing will be about $1,000 - $1,200 including labor. Not too shabby!
