wallpaper decisions!

i'm starting to dive into decorating (or at least fantasizing about it) and we've landed on two wallpapers for our master bedroom!  since we'll be decorating this house piece by piece, wallpaper is a good way for us to get a lot of proverbial bang for our buck and some instant gratification. the idea behind this wallpaper is that we want something to balance out that big wall of built ins and frame the view of the pool (see pictures of the room here).  we like the idea of monochromatic and graphic, so these two amazing papers were an obvious choice. so tell me, which would you choose?!  i'm leaning towards the second one and lou is leaning towards the first.  it may or may not be a decorating standoff.

I love the 2nd one! Such a great pattern!

The waves remind me of a little sea horse which I love. =)

Love the first one - waves. More relaxing, less cluttered/distracting. Seems so appropriate with a view of the pool, too.

My vote is for the first one, definitely! Love that.

thank you all, but seriously....you are split down the middle! haha!!!
makes me confident that we can't really go wrong at least. :)

I would have to go with the first - even though the pattern seems so specific it can be versatile - can swing towards a masculine, rugged, sea-faring vibe or a relaxing paradise that can be punched up with brights or subdued with water-appropriate tones.

But that being said it is probably either the thing you will be surprised that you never get sick of and have a new appreciation for every time you look at it...or the thing that you replace first. Always a gamble :)

Completely in love with both of them. Such a hard decision!
