Time to speed up my packing at the Huntsville house. This stuff is starting to come together.
So here is my friend Jose del Muerto, overseeing the removal of wallpaper in the dining room. It took about 2 days to scrape off the dark teal paper with the dogwood blossoms that lurked underneath the 1965-era flocked white vinyl. Still, it's about done. I've met with painters, floor guys, electrical guys, etc. Floor tile is ordered for other rooms--hardwood in this one. This lovely room will be painted in vibrant Oaxaca colors--I think a coral for the upper walls, then red in the background of the paneling, coral in the central panels. Possibly a blue on the outline moulding. The rug that will go here is an old oriental with dark red, dark and medium blue, and salmon pink. Curtains will be gone and venetian blinds installed. Lots of artwork on the walls (some of it mine). Victorian furniture and a new wrought iron chandelier with red blown-glass shades from Wimberley Glassworks. Jose will move to the entry hall once the flooring is done there.

I love all shades of coral. It looks good with so many other colours.

I dunno, that teal wallpaper with dogwood blossoms is mighty fine.... at least you documented it before destroying it.
