Very nice! I prefer an overall pattern for my own kitchen because the
seams match better, but I never object to strong veining in other
people's kitchens.

I used to have a toile wallpaper as an accent wall in my living room,
but didn't like it after it was put up. It stayed for years (with me

no way could be hung over that wall paper - so I finally had the
perfect excuse to take it down.
