When my designer suggested wallpaper for a powder room I was apprehensive but I trusted her immensely so I went for it. I found Abode Couture LLC on Houzz (my designer's person had retired) and they were available. Cheryl Heator was so helpful with ordering and guided me through the process of getting an accurate picture of the room's dimensions. They came installed our paper and I LOVE IT!!! > So much, we had them return and they papered the hall bath and an accent wall in our primary bedroom. I'm obsessed!! The Abode Couture Team are friendly professional and most of all talented. Thank you so much for helping to transform our home > Wish I could post photos but for some reason they won't download. **★★★★★ — HU-834578086, Jan. 2024** > This is the second time I have used Abode Couture for wallpaper selection and installation. They are prompt in their communication, incredibly helpful with wallpaper ordering and prep, and true masters of their craft. Both installations have been flawless. I would not hesitate to use them again and have recommended to them to multiple friends. **★★★★★ — amandathon, April 2023** > Cheryl and her team just completed my master bathroom and I cannot be more pleased with the outcome. I started out with doing just an accent wall with this bold mural/wallpaper and eventually decided to do the whole bathroom. Cheryl was fantastic in aligning the pattern on the two side walls and they came out wonderfully - my bathoom is stunning. Cheryl and her team were consultative, attentive, and kept on plan and on schedule. I cannot recommend Cheryl and her team more. **★★★★★ — HU-356299758, April 2023** > Cheryl and her team have completed three wallpaper projects, all of which have been outstanding additions to our home! During the initial outreach and planning process, Cheryl is always very helpful and quick to respond. She thoroughly answers my questions, helps order the paper, and offers additional paper options and styles at my request. For the installations, the team (Olivia, Kylee) have been lovely to work with -- friendly, professional, tidy, and quick! They've transformed our dining room, foyer, and baby nursery and I cannot say enough positive things about working with Abode Couture. If you want a pro for your wallpaper installation, look no further! **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Busch, Feb. 2023** > I have used Abode Couture for my interior design business with 100% satisfaction.

Both jobs involved removing improperly hung wallpaper that was coming off.( bubbling, separating seams). I live in a 137 year old house with very high ceilings. One area involved my upstairs and downstairs hall with complicated varying heights. In addition,Cheryl reduced her final bill when it took her less time to remove the wallpaper than she originally estimated. I admire such honesty! > They did an outstanding job. They were prompt,organized, very neat and friendly.( put up with an over affectionate Labrador!) I would highly recommend them.

Cheryl and her team did my powder room and master bathroom and both are just breathtaking and capture the style and precision I wanted in both rooms. Given the bold and beautiful look of my master bath, I may ask Cheryl to continue her work to make the room even more bold! If you have the opportunity to work with Cheryl and her team, seize it, and you will be pleased with the entire experience.

The first was a repair job and she did a fabulous job - seamless! For this project, she and her team did full wallpaper removal including ceilings in 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. The job was much more difficult than planned as the original designer did not use sizing but Cheryl and her team worked diligently and professionally to complete it. I love her team's attitude and that they keep such an organized space when working. I would hire them again in a minute! Worth every dollar spent! **★★★★★ — R Z, June 2018** > Very precise, careful, professional worksmanship (workswomanship).

Highly recommend Abode Couture! **★★★★★ — User, June 2018** > I’ve hired Cheryl on two occasions and I’m exceptionally happy with my wall coverings. She is meticulous & friendly - with great communication. If you are looking to transform a space, I recommend Cheryl very highly. **★★★★★ — bsharrow22098, June 2018** > I had the pleasure of having Abode Couture do a room in our home. Not only is Cheryl extremely kind and professional, she also did an amazing job. She was very conscious to be neat and orderly as the wall paper was going into a room that just had new carpet installed. All around, just a fantastic job. Highly recommend if you need a wallpaper job completed. **★★★★★ — jmt312, May 2018** > I contacted Cheryl to install wallpaper on an accent wall in my bedroom. Cheryl was wonderful to work with start to finish - she came to look at the room, helped me get the wallpaper, stuck with me while I made up my mind on complementary paint colors, and installed the wallpaper as soon as she had time in her schedule. There was even a little hiccup in the base coat on the wall from previous coats of paint - Cheryl immediately resolved it with no fuss. I couldn't be happier and I would recommend Cheryl to everyone! **★★★★★ — Sara, March 2018** > Cheryl did an amazing job with my powder room and her work is BEAUTIFUL! This is the first time I have put up wall paper in my home so I decided to hire a professional installer and I am so glad I called Cheryl. I am beyond happy with the work she did. I called three different installers and right from the start Cheryl stood out from the rest. She was prompt at returning my call and answered all my questions. During our call she asked many good questions to feel get a feel for the job, made recommendations on the amount of wall paper to order and gave me some great pointers to think about before making a final paper selection. On the day work was to begin Cheryl was right on time and quickly started with the job. She noticed a flaw in the pattern and coloration with the wallpaper. She contacted the retailer I had purchased it from and did all the leg work for me to return it (way above and beyond if you ask me). As it turned out, she was able to get the wallpaper I wanted and it was less expensive ordering it from her. Once the new wallpaper arrived she inspected it to ensure there were no quality issues and contacted me so we could reschedule the following week. It is evident she pays attention to the smallest detail and did a great job cleaning up once she was done as well. I would ask Cheryl to do additional projects in my home and highly recommend her for any wallpaper project you have. **★★★★★ — lacaldwe80, March 2018** > Abode Couture wallpapered an accent wall in my kitchen.

Enjoyed working with you and looking forward to the next project! **★★★★★ — Jill Kinsel, Nov. 2017** > Cheryl and her daughter were an absolute delight!!

Thanks Cheryl I love my kitchen! **★★★★★ — Kitty & Company Interior Design, Aug. 2017** > Perfectionist, Detail oriented, Designers' Eye, Extremely Organized- All of these words describe Cheryl Heator, of Abode Couture. I have known Cheryl for 19 years and have worked along side her in various design projects, and also have hired her to install and take down wallpaper in my own spaces, as well as for my clients spaces. She is efficient and cares about making the spaces she works in look beautiful. I also highly recommend Cheryl for her expertise and her work ethic.

She worked efficiently and cleanly. I am thrilled with the end result. Our bathroom is stunning! **★★★★★ — Michelle G, Aug. 2017** > Cheryl is wonderful to work with. She wallpapered 2 rooms in our condo with a fabric wallpaper. It was a difficult paper to work with as no glue can get on the front. She nailed it- did a great job. Very pleased. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Peggy Carroll, July 2017** > Cheryl is terrific. She worked long hard hours at my house, stripping wallpaper during a 5 month "refresh" project. In addition, she had lots of fresh new ideas for me to consider, most of which I enthusiastically went with. She remade comforters, made shower curtains, ordered tassels and pulls for my dining room/living room. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do/try. I heartily recommend Cheryl to my real estate clients. She has worked for several! **★★★★★ — Chad Losey Design Studio, June 2017** > Cheryl is fantastic!

I had searched high and low and had a vision for what I wanted, and had come to terms with the fact that it probably wasn't out there. Boy was I wrong! Cheryl used her wallpaper-finding spidey-senses and located many wallpapers that were closer to what I was looking for than anything I had found, including one that was just PERFECT!! She then measured, determined how much I needed, ordered and installed it with so little effort on my part, and for a very reasonable price! I would recommend Cheryl to anyone! ## Selected projects - [Install: Large Scale Watercolor Effect Mural](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/install-large-scale-watercolor-effect-mural-pj-vj~4965252) - Location: Ann Arbor, MI - Photos: 6 - [Install: Arhaus Murals](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/install-arhaus-murals-pj-vj~4946945) - Location: Chelsea, MI - Photos: 5 - [Install: Contemporary Bedroom Accent Wall](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/install-contemporary-bedroom-accent-wall-pj-vj~4946869) - Location: Warren, MI - Photos: 1 - [Install: Beatrix Potter Themed Nursery](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/install-beatrix-potter-themed-nursery-pj-vj~4965230) - Location: Superior Charter Township, MI - Photos: 5 - [Mural Installs: Porsche Collector's Garage & Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mural-installs-porsche-collector-s-garage-and-residence-pj-vj~3529349) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 - [Grasscloth Install: Large Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grasscloth-install-large-family-room-pj-vj~3529200) - Location: Rogers City, MI - Photos: 5 - [Install: Anthropologie Mural](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/install-anthropologie-mural-pj-vj~5246320) - Location: Ann Arbor, MI - Photos: 2 - [Grasscloth & Wallpaper: Master Bedroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/grasscloth-and-wallpaper-master-bedroom-pj-vj~3529075) - Location: Northville, MI - Photos: 7 - [Wallpaper Install: Grandkids' Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallpaper-install-grandkids-suite-pj-vj~3529244) - Location: Rogers City, MI - Photos: 5 - [Install: Glitter Sand Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/install-glitter-sand-powder-room-pj-vj~4947298) - Location: South Lyon, MI - Photos: 4 - [Wallpaper Install: Great Room, Dining Room, Hallway, Family Room, Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallpaper-install-great-room-dining-room-hallway-family-room-kitchen-pj-vj~2468365) - Location: Ann Arbor, MI - Photos: 16 - Description: Beautiful large scale metallic silver and beige damask wallpaper used thoughout the main level of the house as an elegant cohesive design element. - [Wallpaper Install: Holographic wallpaper](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallpaper-install-holographic-wallpaper-pj-vj~3529131) - Location: Northville, MI - Photos: 4 - [Custom Wallpaper: Colorful Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-wallpaper-colorful-powder-room-pj-vj~3529103) - Location: Northville, MI - Photos: 6 - [Wallpaper Mural: Roses](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallpaper-mural-roses-pj-vj~3529160) - Location: Livonia, MI - Photos: 3 - [Wallpaper Install:Modern Powder Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallpaper-installmodern-powder-room-pj-vj~3529184) - Location: Ann Arbor, MI - Photos: 4 - [Wallpaper Install: Laundry Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallpaper-install-laundry-room-pj-vj~3529151) - Location: Northville, MI - Photos: 2 - [Wallpaper Install: Nairobi Animal Guest Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wallpaper-install-nairobi-animal-guest-bath-pj-vj~3529305) - Location: Rogers City, MI - Photos: 3 - [Wallpaper Install: Wm.
