Paint & Paper

For some reason, we have had a barrage of requests for accent walls to be painted and - get this folks - WALLPAPERED! 

Yes ladies and gentlemen, in the effort to diversify we have started to offer wall papering services, and I have to say, it's added a facet of creativity to our pallet. These design "trends" come along every few decades or so, and we are in the middle of the wallpaper revival so Pearl Painting is on board.  We've recently done a few accent walls in Kelly Moore paints - the chocolate mousse suite of colors was a choice that was as decadent on as described.  Pictures to follow - PROMISE.

In the meantime, we have recently used Graham Brown wallpaper on a home in Russian Hill.  The quality of this paper is significant, and the owner was pleased with the resulting effect the damask paper brought to her upstairs hallway.

You can see that it's a bit subdued, understated, calm and elegant (like myself) and the overall effect was one that updated this somewhat dark hallway.

While these types of papers can be pricey (this damask was $85 a roll) they do cover 32sq ft of area.  You can of course find less expensive options in the big box stores, but if you are looking for a better choice let me suggest the following brands that offer not only quality but multiple choice for any project:


1.  Graham & Brown
2.  Farrow & Ball
3.  Brunschweig & Fils
4.  Osborne & Little

It's not compulsory to have a double barreled company name to sell quality wallpaper, but it apparently helps.
