We didn’t agree on this wallpaper! I know, I know. While I am still head over heels with the wallpaper in last week’s post, I decided I wanted to do something a little different. If you know me, you know that <strong>I am. not. afraid. of. bold.</strong> However, for the Master Bedroom, I want a little flirty, romantic, girly, light, and airy feel. While I am not a fan of overly floral things, this wallpaper does not overwhelm with its floral beauty. Also, the picture doesn’t show the beauty of the wallpaper. The final pics will be much better. The wallpaper is textured with iridescent white butterflies as the backdrop. Then there are more butterflies and cute florals in the forefront. It’s a vintage paper that I scored at a local wallpaper store. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-JNf-c3nCsDEWJFauDaA9qlM5wjnNCZx4sJE1M-MqEW43etysWemgeTn5yZzBc2GRYzXcNuAWBFIFk4bwz9cpBICEJOEZlwNlb8rPb0K5bhKrpucH_i-k8XrgfscUevEuUPQEj_ApRIxv/s1600-h/Photo%252520Oct%25252015%25252C%2525209%25252003%25252032%252520PM%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Photo Oct 15, 9 03 32 PM" border="0" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB6piw4sY-sae_Y2WPoM820H3skc82D5eLB4_U833CK9LSjNyN3JB0kFxABdVCIhUdo2DhzWs9LaBRg_-1q2bZdG8HRpIzwUz18tj6naSS6LnUQgz5c-aZOqlf0TgZ7_Fpq75Mmyec1GeY/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Photo Oct 15, 9 03 32 PM" width="700" /></a><br /><div align="center"><a href="http://designaddictmom.blogspot.com/2013/10/one-room-challenge-week-one.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #dd8484;"><strong>The room</strong></span></a> was painted in Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter before. I decided to repaint in Benjamin Moore White Dove. I most always opt for eggshell finish instead of flat because I have to be able to wipe the walls (being a mama of two little boys). The White Dove is perfect because it has warmth and I’ve noticed that depending on the lighting, it  can also read as a subtle grey.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4SEu3o4h77eaZn8ouijdAW_xZnxB9JpwvwpjBKFhzs-pGEVHD12VwiGHlkTn9h2kZNCMIBF6UoDVTk9BygwwgM4dNYyOt10nFIkZHiXEBK6j1OmGtj1tp_suPXEK4h4KHjv91ilX4HO2v/s1600-h/Photo%252520Oct%25252015%25252C%25252011%25252019%25252058%252520PM%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Photo Oct 15, 11 19 58 PM" border="0" height="526" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8ygb2w7AuMIp8mGyBo3Rwlvpqu5g4mHmxtzv2-scEyNrdOD1ncf0nASP_yIaP7zrNG_mh0rDUMKTraEP4NvndK6pVW8CeahXcwrAYXuoUJ-OlE2qeOcCS99yfRtk_Md2lV0wMc0ms9HuH/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Photo Oct 15, 11 19 58 PM" width="700" /></a><br /><div align="center">Although I am not finished painting, the difference in the brightness of the room is evident.</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBS3QMQC3zOvJnPjfCXgnAwa3AJv72RAfCOA-LpxBi2XRB-uA86uwnn7dVJRwWBZf19JdTBGx0RrMeT1XjOLjPkVMtIRsRAtwrXjnD0qbdFhPlZu34BbRwNkRIE1z_ZNDI8ZONPudfG1WR/s1600-h/Photo%252520Oct%25252011%25252C%2525203%25252043%25252037%252520PM%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="Photo Oct 11, 3 43 37 PM" border="0" height="904" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj147QVFbDYFUjfTbr0Y3U1zYhcwVo03XC5lr1fMqnfzKcuAiEOcTa9KM4lCijle5BFR6TJ4-uW_CTn9bvAXOAVI893SKCj4Rh5bFt3jDQD2bsAYiUKLSxd4UHUU-L6TvaFVtOc9AHXUgZV/?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Photo Oct 11, 3 43 37 PM" width="604" /></a></div><div align="center">I posted this Anthropologie bedding as my inspiration for bedding on Instagram last week.
