I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.

I have to say guys this quote is me in so many ways! I adore color and beauty and escaping to whimsical places…
I always imagined that for our bedroom, I would dream up all these radical and colorful ideas that would transform it into a place that I could come to be inspired, but sadly what I see as magical hubby would see as crazy, so our bedroom remained really plain and in my eyes so boring.
Then one day like a night in shining armor, in rode @edgewallart with a collaboration offer that I just couldn’t refuse. I was getting the chance to bring my dreamy ideas to life, and to transform our bedroom into a different and beautiful place to escape to with their wonderful wall paper.
But of course it would take some convincing to get hubby on board, it took a while but in the end he caved and I was so delighted.
Edge has so many amazing designs to choose from, and it was seriously such a pleasure to scroll through all the options and to narrow it down to “the one!”.
I ended up getting stuck between an amazing Japanese wave and a tropical paradise of jungle leaves. Needless to say the leaves won me over in the end.
So the day came when installation was possible and hubby and I got to work. I have to say this was a marriage tester indeed between my perfectionist hubby, and me who doesn’t relay instructions very well, and who also does not work well under pressure eeeek!
In order to save our marriage I had to call in my mother in law to save the day…
I knew she had done wallpaper in the past, and I knew she would be a good voice of reason. She said we should have plum lined the first sheet but since we hadn’t along with not leaving the extra, we fumbled through getting the pattern lined up.
Even though we were struggling my mother in law couldn’t stop talking about how much easier @edgewallart was compare to the wallpaper that they had put up in the past. Using water and the mess and hassle of it all…
Her enthusiasm and positive feedback is truly a testament to what a wonderful product Edge provides.
Not only is it beautiful and artistically on point, but it’s amazing quality and it totally transforms a room.
I can’t rave enough about how thrilled I am with our room now, I truly feel like I’m escaping to a wonderful whimsical rainforest every time I’m on my bed now, and it just gives me the smiles constantly.
