Waving the White Flag

Okay, I was officially vetoed by Derek. There will be no funky drift wood on any of our walls.  After showing Derek what I had in mind, he quickly responded with "well ... do you want my honest opinion?" .... lol not really what I was looking for!  But anyways, he didn't like the idea, and well this is his house too, and he lives here, so I ditched the idea, and have come up with a plan B.

Behold ...

Isn't it pretty? I thought that this would add a little somthin' somethin' to the wall behind the TV. Derek had also mention adding perhaps one of those nice dark wood IKEA floating shelves above it with some photos ... like what we have in our family room ...

Could work ... we will have to see. Anyways back to the lovely Moroccan design. I'm not sure how big I want them to be ... I wish I could afford the wallpaper but it comes at a pretty hefty price ($119 a roll! eekk!).  So I will be searching some more to either find a way to make and apply this pattern using a stencil .. or maybe I will be lucky and find the wallpaper in my colour, for a waaaayyy cheaper price. I will keep you posted!

On a side note .... good-bye ugly mint green!

(and no this isn't white ... its a pale grey that doesn't show up on camera very well!)
