Vintage Wallpaper Love.

I´m sorry that if you follow me on Flickr, you´ve seen most of the pictures I am posting here these days. I´ll try to time things better in the future, but anyway here you get the bonus of the incredibly exciting background stories!

So, I meant to write about this vintage wallpaper in my hall. It´s one of the projects I have been tackling over the Christmas holidays. The hallway itself is pretty cute - we have this lovely original staircase and the two wooden doors (one to the kitchen, and the one you see here leads to the library). There´s also a horrible, horrible newish plastic door that leads to the garden which needs to be replaced very soon.

But back to the wallpaper. I bought it when we moved into the Berlin apartment. It´s from here (mind  their vintage wallpaper is really vintage=old, no reproductions!). I didn´t really have a place to hang it back then but I liked it so much, so I bought a roll. And then never used it and completely forgot about it. And then one day we unpacked boxes in the new house and I found this wallpaper and lightning striked and I knew it belonged in the hallway.

I think it is pretty much perfect, if I do say so myself. It was a very messy, tedious job putting it up, but it was worth every temper tantrum (not sure whether the husband agrees though). Things fall into place. I do like that.
