So, here it is. This is a close up of the pattern on the wall paper in the kitchen. [Its a white background with grayish silverish polka dots and larger black stenciled flowers. they look like dogwood flowers to me. What do you think?]
Unfortunately, the wallpaper is not all up. My contractor informed me that he needed more to cover the walls. I was a bit perplexed since I installed wallpaper in two bedrooms and didnt run out of material. But I guess he didnt save any scraps like I did. (I had to patch in the pattern in some areas.. like a wall quilt).
Cha-ching! I had to order more wallpaper. Shipment would take at least a week -- that is if it was in stock. Of course - just my luck - its not in stock anymore. Wont be in for 2 more weeks at least. So when I told this to my contractor he said that he might try to use the scraps to join the seams as best as possible.
"Find a way or make one!" Thats what Im talking about! I may not have to order the extra wall paper after all.
Thatll save a few dollars. By the way, the expenses are piling up. I sat down last night to make a spreadsheet of what Ive paid out and what costs I can anticipate. That was a neat little exercise! I needed the perspective. Let me just say that I am so glad to have financial assistance with this project. It will feel nice to have everything done the way I envisioned it.
Thats a real treat!
Below is a zoom out of the completed portion of the wall. And I got an edge of the ceiling in there... for those of you curious about the ceiling color!
... I just got a call from my contractor. He says hes completed most of the floor tile today. Eeek! I cant wait to get home to check it out. I wish I could leave now!
Ill be sure to post more pics after the weekend.
