Decorating ideas: Wallpaper tricks to try

I've been basically sitting with hundreds of wallpaper books around me for the past week, so pretty much all I can think about is wallpaper. I fall in love with so many, but with only so much space there isn't a lot you can do. Except come up with unique ways to use it.  

Remember when I wrote about this fab palm leaf Gillian Shaw headboard? I thought, what a clever way to use wallpaper. . .

01 | Cover a room divider or screen with wallpaper

Get this look: Martinique Wallpaper Dupe

02 | Frame wallpaper panels for an oversized art look

Then I started to do some online browsing. I fell for this balcony look for wallpaper on one accent wall. It totally adds character to the space. 

03 | Wallpaper behind open shelving for dramatic effect

Fornasetti faces wallpaper has always a favorite of mine. Even my Carrie Bradshaw office can attest to my love for it. It looks so cool in a kitchen, powder bathroom or a closet. 

04 | Wallpaper the inside of an armoire or bookcase

I also love when I see bookcases like this lined with pretty paper. . .

Get the look: polka dot wallpaper

. . .or check out the frame in the mirror reflection. Framing a unique pattern of wallpaper makes for the most interesting art, no?

Framed chinoiserie wallpaper makes a gorgeous piece of statement art.

05 | Wallpaper a small kitchen to make it feel larger

I am in love with this malachite wallpaper inside this small kitchen.

Decorating diary: shopping for glamorous lighting

There is nothing like having good lighting strewn throughout the home. Lighting is the jewelry of the home, it has to be statement making. I love all of the lighting in this house. My brain is currently is "lighting mix" mode and I am trying to come up with some really glamorous mixes for each room in a few new projects I am working on. 

I watched Miss USA last night and naturally I was rooting for Miss Texas. She is from a small town where I was born actually, so my whole family was rooting for her. She wore this exquisite white dress with fringe and it totally reminded me of these fringe pendants I am dying for. . .I love anything fringe. 

I am also in loooooooove with these gold geometric lamps. So fierce. Can't wait to get these walls done so they stand out + make an even bigger statement. 

My eyes are infatuated with fringe & I oh so badly want to use this fringe chandelier from Arhaus. Obsessed. It's so old Hollywood glamorous. Pair that with a pair of these gold geometric table lamps. I've also been smitten with the new bubble light collection at West Elm. How glam are the sconces?

This bubble chandelier  is so cool yet glamorous. Loving the Arteriors for One Kings Lane lighting collection. This starburst lamp is my favorite! Love the duality of this double wall sconce.
