bad wallpaper | The
master bedroom originally featured bamboo wallpaper. As Nicole
notes: "The bamboo wallpaper wasn't quite the look we were
going for. So, with steamer in one hand, and a putty spatula in
the other, the bamboo wallpaper was scraped off. As with the
rest of the house, the walls got a fresh coat of paint. The
other changes included putting in some colorful velvet drapes,
and replacing the closet doors with bi-fold mirror doors." (Click

up roses | A
funky personal touch are the dried roses hanging from the
ceiling around the bed. Nicole explains: "The roses were a
gift from Drew just before my departure for a 2-month student
sabbatical in Germany. The original intention was simply to
temporarily hang the roses from the ceiling to dry. They were
arranged around the bed just to do something fun and different.
Each was attached by looping a white thread around the stem, and
pinning the thread to the ceiling with a thumbtack. We liked the
look the flowers gave the room, so we left them there." >
