Eclectic, Art-Filled Home Features Fun Textures and Patterns

Prior to its makeover, this Pennsylvania home looked a bit like a forgotten box of lipstick swatches. With freshened-up walls, a gallery’s worth of eclectic art, lush wallpaper and a dramatic statement wall in the attic(!), it’s now a natural beauty.
