Two Gracie wallpapers add elegance to the dining room

Today is what we call and “add on” or “update” post. You might remember in 2017 I did a slight remodel to our formal dining room with a beautiful Gracie wallpaper (full post below). Recently, I got the urge to tweak it a bit and with the guidance of Lisa Henderson Interiors, we added a second Gracie paper to the ceiling. Not only does it warm the room, it’s a beautiful “WOW” factor. And, we added custom drapes to give a little punch of blue to the back of the room. Be sure to click through to see the 2017 version and today’s update, which lists all sources.
