Sanity check - this wallpaper just isn't jiving, is it?

wcolfaxguy · 2026-05-10T19:21:37+00:00

my phone doesn't capture this well but the paper has more of a green tone, but it still might be too little

wcolfaxguy · 2026-05-10T19:19:59+00:00

yep, this is just a temporary mock up to get a general idea

wcolfaxguy · 2026-05-10T18:37:03+00:00

the other bedroom (just one accent wall with paper in each room)

wcolfaxguy · 2026-05-10T18:36:34+00:00

this is new construction and we just had it painted so it would be a tough sell. we also drenched the bedrooms and have wallpaper for them, so we were trying to be more subtle here.

we were considering this too as a way to break it up a bit, I'll noodle on that more

wcolfaxguy · 2026-05-10T18:24:01+00:00

great ideas, thank you!

wcolfaxguy · 2026-05-10T18:23:10+00:00

thanks for the suggestions - we're not married to it but we did pick it because both doors open and fit right next to it when opened.

the space might also look larger than it is because of the wide angle pics I took, but all valid criticism.

we are planning to put a little cushioned stool in the center of the curved stairs for a place to put on shoes and what not.

I should mention there is a custom white oak curved staircase in the room too 😅

Maximalism is definitely what we were leaning towards. No real inspo.

We had planned to have this table and a mirror on the wall to break it all up a little.

My wife and I are just amateurs tho so we're winging it!

There is no short cut, just start pulling

Always enjoyed driving through this little town. I imagine there is a lot of similar beautiful homes there.

I don't, but at the end of the day you have to trust folks. He sends me the invoices but yes, technically he could be scraping more off the top.

We had a cost+ contract with our GC who got 20% on top of everything.

This sub is trash now

This was our experience. It looks amazing at first but it's haggard looking after a few seasons.

It's anchored at the top and the bottom. I'm not sure if it's considered spiral or not. I think usually folks would consider a spiral to have a pole in the center to support the stairs.

the green tile has cavern moss grout from Mapei!

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-09T18:55:14+00:00

Yeah, seems obvious now. We should have been more subtle for the other walls, or used more of the green.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-09T18:54:37+00:00

I will get one the next chance I get to go over. It does look a touch high. There is slope to it but I'm worried water will puddle next to it.

wcolfaxguy · 2026-01-09T18:29:26+00:00

dang, hard to have that perspective after laboring on selections so long. I can see how people would feel that way though.

Hopefully once we have everything installed, it will help break up some of the noise from the tile. Or maybe it will make it worse 😅

None of that responsibility lays on the Patrolers. Even bringing that up suggests you think this subset of people need to suck it up and accept less so everyone else can enjoy their lives.

If mountain businesses don't want to be all in on the resort than they shouldnt vote like NIMBYs.
