Welcome!

Thanks for visting Simply The Nest. I'm an English girl married to an Portuguese boy, and when I'm not taking care of our adorable baby girl, I blog about our house renovation, DIY projects, delicious recipes, design, inspirational interiors, and  family life in a little Manchester nest. Oh, and Jack Russells (we have two). And our five year masterplan to move to France. Très bien.

Wardrobe Project - Lovely Clarissa Hulse Wallpaper

My Clarissa Hulse wallpaper samples have arrived!

Here they are:

So now I just need to decide which one would best pretty up the interior of my wardrobe. I'm probably going to say no to the two blue designs, because they're more of a purpley blue in real life and don't really match with the colour palette in the rest of the house.

Of the four remaining contenders, I'm most drawn to the Burnett pattern in espresso on cappuccino (OK, OK, dark brown on light brown) - I tried holding it up inside the wardrobe and it has a nice balance between being muted enough to not clash with my clothes, but also having enough drama to be interesting:

The samples are a generous A4 size, which is big enough to be useful, so I'll probably end up Mod Podgeing them all to an as-of-yet unidentified item of furniture. Mmm, crafty projects are so pleasing.

Which wallpaper do you like best? Actually, I'd be interested to hear if you like wallpaper at all, or whether you're all about the paint?

Definitely the bottom right. Was my immediate favourite. Not fussy enough to confuse you when choosing clothes!

They all similar to your blog header flowers!

I think I like the black on white ones most of all. I confess that I am a paint person rather than a paper person, simply because I don't think I could ever commit to a paper - perhaps if I never went online and was never greeted by so many different wonderful papers I would find it easier, but it seems that whenever you finally say YES. THAT ONE. you immediately find about twenty-five more wonderful patterns!

Hola C-No! Yes, you are right, Clarissa Hulse has clearly visited this blog and pinched my design, the cheeky wench :-)

And hello Sarah! I know what you mean about choosing wallpaper patterns - I have the exact same problem choosing paint colours - I pore over 50+ samples of deep blue paint, and my husband tells me that they all look the same, but he is WRONG!
