I have a special place in my heart for rental apartments and homes. To this day, we still live in a rental. There is something really challenging to me about taking a place that you can't drastically alter and making it shine. I guess when you think about it, it is the reason I love vintage so much. Finding old things, polishing them and making them be what they were meant to be. (And not to mention doing it at a crazy affordable price point. That's what I am all about).

I mean, LOOK at that picture above! (And follow Gen on Instagram if you don't. Not only will you want to be her best friend but her taste is so freaking on point, it isn't even funny). That Schumacher wallpaper...be still my heart. Also...adding the black top to that toilet is genius. Black is such an easy way to ground a room that has a lot going on with color and pattern.
Here are some suggestions on how exactly to pair a modern wallpaper with a vintage piece of art.
