Two Cute Shoots -- Delaware Child Photographer
When I bought my house years ago, the very FIRST thing I did was choose some wallpaper for the kitchen and main entry. I absolutely fell in love with a Waverly cottage rose pattern. Now normally, I tire of all things decor within a year. But I never got tired of that wallpaper. I painted my dining room to match. Bought furniture in the living room with very a very similar pattern. I even found two rugs with the same pattern. So, when I grew tired of my lavendar bedroom a few years back, it was hardly a surprise that I wanted to bring my no-fail pattern upstairs, too. But, I fought the urge. I mean, who does their entire house in the same pattern?! Instead, I painted the room beige and did a chocolate stripe wall on one end of the room. Taped off by my mother because I just couldn't get the lines straight. It was a lot of work ... and I hated the result. After a year, I couldn't take it anymore, so I decided to throw wallpaper over the striped wall. I saw a ton of gorgeous vintage cottage rose papers ... but once again, I fought the urge. Instead, I bought this textured cream-colored stuff that I thought would look like a cool old vintage wall. My Mom put up the wallpaper for me (yeah, I can't do that either) and it was ... ugly. Oh, so ugly. It looked like a cheap stick-on floor had crawled it's way up the wall. As I lay there looking at the ugliness night after night, it became apparent what I needed to do. I ripped it down and my kind mother put up even more wallpaper for me. And this time I got it right. A vintage cottage rose paper. Not the same as the one below, but pretty close. And then I found a Waverly bedspread that IS the same pattern as the one below. So, of course, I got it. And all was well. Finally.
Then one day, as I was shopping in Once Upon a Child, I came across the pattern once again! A 3T Gap outfit made out of that gorgeous cottage vintage rose pattern. All I could see was a little girl bouncing on the bed. I told Tanna about it and we decided that we'd add that shoot to our list (yes, we have a list of shoots we want to do). Well, yesterday we crossed two shoots off our list, starting with "the bedroom" shoot.
