I don't think there's a better way for me to embrace multiculturalism than to hang some wallpaper. We rolled on lots of flat off-white paint when we built this house seven years ago, and, with time, it's become even flatter and offer. Where's the culture in that? And since we don't live in Johnson County, Kansas, where the rules state that everything, inside and out, must be in shades of beige, we're branching out. It all started when we purchased that one-and-a-half-seat recliner for our anniversary. Did I mention that it is upholstered with a tapestry depicting a French sidewalk café scene? Cool, huh? Such dimension, such depth, such…flat paint! Then my three great kids got me three stools for the breakfast bar-with rusted, curved, iron legs and wooden seats, and a decidedly European flair. Finally, I found myself attracted to and acquiring all these accoutrements with a grape motif-again, echoing this unmistakable leaning toward things French and Italian and booze-intensive-clearly a cultural leap. And then, it was as if I heard the audible voice of God-leading, directing... commanding? "Hang wallpaper!" Who am I to argue? We chose a paper that makes the walls look ancient, almost like stone, and quite continental. The effect makes me want to light some of those candles that drip colored wax down the outside of straw-covered wine bottles, and serve meatball sandwiches. The hangers are here today, a father and son team. As it turns out, the older man is from Scotland, very near the town where my Dad is from. Do you see where all this is going? Multiculturalism, thy name is wallpaper.
