![]() When we packed for our unexpected move to Richmond, VA, I tucked the cactus paper into a box, wondering how weird it would be to hang prickly pear in the land of magnolia trees and hydrangea. The gift had been no-strings-attached, so I needn’t have felt guilty, but I did anyway. I thought about it from time to time, both because of how pretty it was, and because I felt a little guilty I had received this promotional roll of wallpaper and not used it. The big, empty wall in the laundry room also seemed a great option, but I hadn’t done much in the way of finishing or thoughtful designing the laundry room yet, so the paper was tucked into a cabinet and left. (That, by the way, is very flawed thinking, but not part of this story.)

The only problem was, I had no idea where to hang it! ![]() It came a few days later and I was gah gah over the perfect subdued bright colors, the vintage-style botanical print, and the linen-quality of the paper itself.
