"I was doing upgrades for lighting and for paint, but I wanted to do something different in the living room. My mother and I were at the Mill End Store looking at fabric when I noticed there was an entire section of wallpaper. I thought, 'no,' because it was dated. But Babette said it had really made a comeback," Pharris recalls. "I went home and thought about it. I had put in a chandelier and had painted the ceiling a gold color but felt like that wall needed more than paint. Despite still thinking wallpaper was dated, I went back the next week to look anyway. As soon as the first book was brought out, I saw what I wanted on the cover. It was a beautiful mural, and it was perfect." Pharris is happy with her choices. "e mural went with everything and brought it all together. In the winter, I get cozy with decor and bring out pinks and purples. In the summer, my colors tend to be more white, yellow, gray and green. It all works with the mural," says Pharris. She loves wallpaper so much that she's looking at other projects for her primary bedroom. "is has absolutely inspired me to do more," says Pharris, "Mill End is a great place to look, too. She has wallpaper samples, fabric and always has fresh pieces like upholstered chairs." Augustin says she can order anything at Mill End Store, even things people find online. She can also match price, she says. "If you see an incredible paper online like on Pinterest, I can access it and order it for you. Even if you have a Chanel taste, there is always a Target budget. ere are thousands of companies, but the important piece is to see it in person so you can assess color, texture and scale," Augustin says. Some wallpaper books also show coordinating fabrics. "You have to see it on the wall and in the rooms because you are putting the whole outfit together. is is the world's biggest crayon box," says Augustin. "You are putting art on the wall."
