This original c.1904 Adams Morgan entry was still rocking the original green lacquer wall tile wainscoting in perfect condition. We spent some time getting the replacement front door and original interior door ready for paint and then busted out three coats of Fine Paints of Europe Hollandlac Satin Oil to make them the best looking entry doors in Adams Morgan.
Then it was time for the main attraction. This “Carnival” non woven wall covering from Christopher Farr steals the sideshow. It is such a large pattern that it doesn’t repeat in this entry. It is beautiful to work with and seams invisible. Surface is a paper hand feel but is wipeable. It looks like it has always been there and compliments the tile wainscoting beautifully. It should wear well.
Big wide open patterns in small areas are a common theme developing with some of my designers. Long thought taboo, it really works to make small spaces visually interesting. This custom light fixture specified by Iantha Carley Interiors certainly doesn’t hurt the eyes either.
Christopher Farr “Carnival” is a pleasure to work with. Roman 880 adhesive thinned to shampoo consistency and applied directly to primed walls. This is non-woven so paste the wall with full wet coat of paste. Hang paper and smooth. Wipe with damp sponge to remove adhesive from face. Tape with yellow tape and double cut seam on the wall. This paper seams invisible. Seams can not be felt or seen. BEAUTIFUL product and design!!!!!
