This grasscloth by Seabrooke is so natural & textural. I am a bit in love with it. The trim is painted in Farrow and Ball's Dimmity which is a beautiful soft cream. (Farrow & Ball is donating the paint for the entire Design House!! :)
Here's what it looked like before in case you forgot:
"Before"
We still have a lot of work to do but right now we're waiting on furnishings to arrive so fingers crossed everything makes it in time!! :)
And one more thing-- I found this lantern at an antique shop a few weeks ago:
I am {fully} in love with this piece and it will be going in my DC Design House room. Check out the handblown textured glass. It's completely worn & aged and beaten up and I'm crazy about it. I love the filligree at both the top and bottom. I'm going to have to get it rewired and add more chain and fix it up a bit but I plan on keeping the finish as-is.
Thank you so much to wallpaper hanger Michael DiGuiseppe who so generously donated his time to install the seagrass and also to Blue Door Painters who also generously gave their time for the Children's Hospital Showhouse. (If you're in the DC-area I highly recommend both of these amazing companies!!)
The DC Design House will run from April 9th to May 8th. and I hope you can make it :)

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.

Beautiful, I believe that grass cloth is the best wallcovering ever. Looks like it was a complicated installation to do the ceiling as well as architectural challenges. Makes my arms hurt looking at it.
Gorgeous sea grass!
So, exciting! Love the grasscloth enveloping the whole space!
Love the seagrass! So excited to see the finished product.
The seagrass wallpaper and light fixture are amazing! The room is transformed already!!
Knowing how thrilling an install is {and even more so a BIG DEAL one like this} I am so excited for you! The grasscloth looks amazing, love the texture and how you also applied it to the ceiling. Pins and needles waiting to see everything come together! I know it will be gorgeous :)

How exciting and the seagrass is fabulous! We just put grasscloth up and I'm in love with it. I can't wait to see what else is to come in your room. Love that chandelier it will catch the light!

Looks absolutely beautiful! Can't wait to see more!
Oh my gosh Lauren, I have been taking down old 1990's wall paper all day in my new to me house. When I saw the title I thought "why in the world would you want to do that?!!" LOL. But then I saw the picture and oh, girl it's beautiful!! Makes me want to actually put up "new, modern" wall paper even after the battle I had on my hands today heehee.
Lauren, I absolutely love the look and texture of sea grass! What a Green environment to rest the soul!
Hope you found our Blog www.UnderSpanishMoss.com!
Have a Great Weekend, Renee and Angela
It looks great! I love the light fixture! Where did you find that?
Lauren, this is already shaping up to be stunning! And I LOVE the lantern you have found. It is just gorgeous. Can't wait to see more photos as the design takes shape. Thank you for sharing, Sheila
I can't fathom hanging the paper, with all those nooks and angles - kudos to your hanger - I think you owe him some beer (or whatever he drinks!)

What a beautiful choice! I love that you went over the architectural detail and onto the ceiling. It makes the room feel so warm and the seagrass is such a great jumping off point for more design details. Love the lantern, it has so much character!
Lauren- What a difference the wallcovering makes in the room! A beautiful canvas for what's to come...
Loretta
What a huge difference already! So exciting!!
I love the grasscloth! (Do you mind sharing the shade name?) And the lantern is beyond amazing. My jaw dropped looking at the picture! I'm excited to see the results.
And I love that you did the ceiling in the grasscloth. I would never have thought of that.
The wallpaper alone makes such a huge difference. Loving it! And that lantern!!! What a beautiful find Lauren! So excited to see the finished room.
what a big difference already! exciting! congrats

The seagrass wallpaper looks fantastic!! I absolutley love that light. It is so much fun when you find something that wonderful. Can't wait to see the rest.
Hey, Lauren, just wanted you know that I ordered a sample of the grasscloth and another Seabrook wallpaper, and I love them both. I think I'm going to do a wall (and possibly multiple walls) in the grasscloth. Thanks, and you should get a commission! :)
