Wallpaper, patterns, and paint...oh my


Hello friends...It's been awhile.
Over the last few weeks, I took a bit of a blogging break. In those few weeks we sold our house #yay, found out our new house was not only behind by a month but also over the original budget...by a lot #boo, packed many boxes of kitchen gadgets (who needs three juicers btw), leased a small apartment so we are not living out of a Uhaul truck during the interim in Texas, and spent a lot of time with friends, since we leave for Dallas in a month...yes a month. 
So to get you up to speed quickly, we found out a couple weeks ago that our new house's price was miscalculated by our builder....again, by a lot. We decided to explore other options, but realized quickly there were none. So we are waiting now to find ways to cut the price down. In the meantime we will be living in a small apartment (we never expected our house to be done when we got down there, so we were planning this long ago), and deciding what to do.
With all of the commotion, my saving grace has been Pinteresting and Houzzing design ideas for my new home (where ever it might be). My newest obsession? Wallpaper...that's right ladies and gents, I've gone madd-hatter crazy for wallpaper. A few of my favorites? I thought you'd never ask...

The Blue Ikat and Waves pattern will definitely make an appearance in our new home at some point, and possibly the rest of them too. We'll see. How about you? What have you been crushing on lately? Any other wallpaper fans out there?
