Lauren and her mother painted on canvas an AMAZING doesn't begin to explain it scene. Portable. Easily changed but dramatic. Love the idea of this room being what it is. Interior rooms have their own charm. I agree with you about the high contrast of trim/wall color and would do it in same color. My preference would be for a dark green. In my own study, which I chose to make an interior room because the view is not a great one, I upholstered the walls in a deep teal satin/matte stripe and painted the woodwork to match but in a muted faux finish (no wild patterns, just underglow of lighter color. I have had this room this way for 20 years, and I still love it. (Yup, I painted the ceiling too! Go bold.

The other thing that really struck me about the beautiful images from the link is the tone-on-tone and the overall softness...a common thread from the original post. A monochromatic scheme would be perfect for this space that is in view of so many other rooms as well as a main thoroughfare. I don't think you would tire of a well chosen, subtle scenic paper.Acanthus and Acornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603547994268012876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-24248509575266079302010-01-25T08:24:35.149-05:002010-01-25T08:24:35.149-05:00Michele,

I have a copy of a Zuber in my dining room, long story how it came to be (that's definitely a blog post because I'm struggling with mine too). I recently had an artist take photographs from a client's farm in Kentucky and then she painted a mural in her dining room of those images. We did it "tone on tone" so it has some interest, dimension and movement but not something they will tire of. Have you thought of that? I probably have some images of it you need to see them. Have a great week.Gwen Driscollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09098560474358923354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-89321314403963354702010-01-25T07:53:24.187-05:002010-01-25T07:53:24.187-05:00I adore the scenic papers-it is a commitment, but ...I adore the scenic papers-it is a commitment, but it never tires.P.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13924653723155000.post-90334941238837937562010-01-25T07:48:30.267-05:002010-01-25T07:48:30.267-05:00Hi, it's really pretty, but I agree it's a...Hi, it's really pretty, but I agree it's a real commitment.
