Our 3rd Home School Contest with Brooklyn Based was another success! Many thanks to everyone at Flavor Paper, and to Jeff Strumeyer of J Marc Wallcovering, for helping bring new FLAVOR to the home of our latest contest winner, Beth Weinstein (above). Beth’s entry to the Home School Contest proposed to transform a small & under-utilized nook in her Cobble Hill apartment. Along with her new wall coverings –Flavor Paper’s Kabloom, printed in custom hues– Beth plans to install shelves & a wine fridge in the nook to create a small bar area as an extension of the adjacent kitchen.
It was my pleasure to join Beth for this first phase of her nook transformation; see the project unfold below!
Beth chose hues for her Flavor Paper that would accent the artwork & interior furnishings in her home; here's the first roll being laid out for measuring.
After priming the walls & trimming all of the paper for hanging, scraps were used to test the tack of different glues --Jeff always tests the tack of multiple glues before committing to one because, as he explains, every paper & wall reacts differently!
With the best glue for the job in-hand, Jeff is ready to hang his pre-cut paper.
After some consideration, Beth & Jeff agreed on 'enclosing' the nook by papering one side of this interior column.
The Kabloom design adds a colorful & organic touch to Beth's selection of modern furnishings & minimal surface treatments.
Time for the big reveal --here's Beth's nook BEFORE...
...and Kabloom! AFTER!
