Bling wallpaper - totally glam

So I just papered a walk in closet in North Beach, that I'm told is a "woman's dream closet".  I don't know what makes a dream closet for a woman, but I imagine it is just a big space...and yeah, this was a generous size, with a large window, and the layout was an "L" shape that separated the shoe area and the clothes area.  Oh, I just realized WHY it's a "dream closet"...I get it now.

Anyway, this is the paper we used and while it is DEFINITELY high end and - as my client referred to it as GLAM - it was also damn expensive.  The paper is actually embellished with glass beads so any light is reflected and it's all glittery.  It's actually a striking effect, and in this particular space, it is an elegant design element to add to the lushness of the closet area.  But to my sensibilities, it had to be for $325 a roll.  Yep, you read right, I had sticker shock, but the client had to have it, and I aim to please...We used it only in the panels of each door on the closet system - and there were lots of them - so it wasn't overkill, just a nice element to the space.

The vendor is Maya Romanoff and the actual paper was ordered at the San Francisco Design Center (on Henry Adams Street).  It arrived pretty quickly after ordering it, and we put it up within 3 days as well.

Glass beaded wall paper is a bit more difficult to cut, and if you get a patterned paper, lining it up can be a bit more arduous, but other than that, it installs pretty much as any paper would.  But man, what a difference when it's completed...

This picture is actually from their website, because my client didn't want pictures of her dressing area on a blog and  I (of course!) respect that.  But I had to give my lovely blog readers a taste of the actual paper we used.  So check out Maya Romanoff products, they even offer a mother of pearl paper that can actually be applied on curves, so those of you in industrial lofts with beams and posts all over your living space, have I got a bad-ass product for you.
