Installing Grasscloth Wallpaper in NYC 10014
West Village, in downtown Manhattan, was initially known as Little Bohemia. Here one finds a concentration of creatives types – artists, writers and musicians – along with winding streets which are not in grid-fashion. Historic cobblestone and notable architecture, punctuated with lush parks and waterfront views over the Hudson, blend comfortably with trendy boutiques and contemporary cafes. It’s colorful, romantic, exciting.
In a charming residential building in West Village, one savvy resident found the white bedroom walls too much on the plain, bright, sterile-looking side of life. Seeking something with positive warmth, texture and style, this person discovered a natural, woven, grasscloth wallpaper exuding an organic feel.
After
We think this new look will promote sleep and enhance imagination, though we stayed totally alert for the whole project. Wallpapering is an exact art, science and craft with straight lines at horizontal and vertical meet-up places. The glue needs to be the correct adhesive for the material and applied in exactly the right amount. From prepping the space and bringing in our supplies, to finishing up and taking away our equipment – like we were never even there – our expert crew focused on every detail. Only as we closed the door, literally and figuratively, only then did we stifle our yawns.
