Dave installed the breakfast nook wallpaper last night... AFTER mowing the lawn, accompanying me & providing the man-power on a Home Depot trip to buy shrubs/ trees and 3 huge bails of hay and finally, digging holes for 2 tree-shrubs (don't know the name, just that they were tall & are helping it make as if people live inside our house!) and 5 rhododendron bushes. He really deserves a medal after the past few months.
I'm loving it!!!! (He said it was really hard to install and wants to hire a professional for the hallway... I'm okay with the few wrinkles you can barely see!) Next up: baseboards & bamboo roman shade installation & crystal sconce installation (and then of course some pretty things/ accessories) and I'll show more pics when it's all done next week. Anyway, have a great weekend & will be back Monday!!! :)

ps- Michele from My Notting Hill was at the Pear Tree Cottage Design Seminar & did a great (and very sweet!!!) post on it here Thanks so much for coming Michele!!
As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

It looks so great! What a bold statement it makes! I've always had a thing for beautiful printed wallpaper, and this just made me love it even more :)
I love it very much! Very good chosen!
Have a nice weekend,

That is fabulous paper!!! I love how it looks in the nook.
It looks GREAT! Not the pineapple...or is it, couldn't tell.
C'mon....let me borrow your guy...really two days that's all I need....
;)
Looking great so far! Have a great weekend!...
P.S. now I have "breaking up is hard to do" stuck in my head! haha
It looks amazing!!!!! What a super helpful husband you have. :)
Very pretty! Great choice! And that man deserves a break already!!
I'm in the process of wallpaper removal. I don't know what's more frustrating... trying to hang it well or trying to get it all off! Neither is any fun at all. I would hire a pro hanger in a second if I were hanging instead of scraping.
Wow! Does your husband ever sleep? The two of you have gotten so much done in so little time! Congrats!
Love the wallpaper, along with everything else you are doing to your home! Your style rocks!
Looks fab! :D
What a wallpaper and what a husband. Both are keepers.
What a wallpaper and what a husband. Both are keepers.
Wow, your husband deserves husband of the year award!! Maybe I should kidnap him too, along with Camilas husband to get all my home projects done :)
LOVE THIS- I cant wait to see more!! xoxox
The wallpaper looks FABULOUS!!! And I'm with everyone else here...your husband is awesome!!!
Looks great, wallpapering is not on my list of fun things to do.
That looks wonderful!! What a lucky girl!! My husband would like to be able to help more, but we have never worked with wallpaper before and I always like the patterns that would be really hard. Some day.... I look forward to seeing all of your new plantings. I have to do that soon, but I am still trying to avoid it!! :)
Oh sweetie! It's looks fab! I love everything. I've been so swamped this week that this is the only second I've had to actually write a comment.
The floors also came out great. Dave is amazing! I hope his first week of school went well.
It looks like the Pear Tree Cottage seminar went really well. That's so exciting. Wish I could have been there to see it all!
Sorry about your can of worms with the client. Ah! Stress! I totally agree with everything you said. I'm going through something similar right now. Still trying to decide if I'll take on the client. At least in your case the client is still happy and you are working on adding a bit more to the budget to get her what she wants in extra pillows etc.
Ok now I think those were about all the comments I wanted to make all week.
We must chat on the phone soon! I miss ya and the sound of your voice. We need to make time. So much to talk about!

It looks fantastic! Your hubby did such a great job. I just found you through Camila's blog and I'm really enjoying your blog.
I hope you're having a wonderful weekend. I would like to invite you to come and participate in my giveaway.
Lauren, it is beautiful. What a lovely choice. I need your Dave to talk to my Dave about helping more with decor projects. You got yourself a total keeper there darling. I know you know it.
You are such a cutie pie - saw your sweet pic on Michele's blog and what a lovely course you lead. Glad it all went well and wish I could have attended! See you in a WEEK!!! OMG. ; )

Love the wallpaper. Wish I could find somewhere in my house to hang some!
Hi Lauren,
Wow I love it! Your husband is amazing! And after hanging wallpaper in my bathroom I really wish I had hired a professional to do it.
Your house is coming together, and so fast!!

Lauren-The wallpaper and the floors look wonderful!
Now you're pros! Do another wall somewhere. This looks great!
WOW! I'm sold and I love it. It really looks welcoming!
It looks wonderful and what a brave husband you have, hanging patterned wallpaper himself!
My husband was put to work this weekend too, building the wardrobe in the baby's room...
