I forgot to post Sue’s room as inspiration in my last post — she did an accent wall in her bedroom and it turned out so lovely:

”Look on line at plenty of pics with entire dormer attic rooms wallpapered ….”

” I was going to post @Jilly 's pic and a few of the other ones below as examples of how bad it looks to use wallpaper as an accent in an attic instead of papering everywhere!”

@Kendrah, I don’t think local’s bedroom is an attic room. If you notice in my post, I said the attic room I shared isn’t like her room — I was only showing it for the wallpaper behind the bed.

I’ve seen lots of beautiful examples of wallpaper heavily broken up in rooms due to windows, doorways, sloped ceilings, and other features. The pattern and colors of the one she likes could be a good choice for the way her room is set-up.

“These comments just go to show how subjective this all is.”

Of course it’s all subjective. Every decor/fashion/etc thread here is.

Update: got the wallpaper sample and the paint chips, very pleased. Will be going forward with a wallpaper order and picking up the paint, hopefully this weekend. No decisions about sconces or a rug yet.

I’m sure those colors and pattern are just lovely together, and am looking forward to seeing them in your room!

Can’t wait to see the update. No to the rug. I would buy the rug last. Love the sconces. Once you have the paper up, find bedding, then rug. The wall paper is going to be the star in the room, so that needs to be considered when choosing the rest.

ooh I really love it all. Which paint color did you decide?

At first I thought no to the rug, but the more I see it the more I like it for the room.

Looking forward to seeing it come together.

@salonva I will confess I have not 100% picked the paint color yet. I cam home from the paint store with the 2 I planned to pick up and about 7 more. I have narrowed it down to the original 2.

I review them in different lights, they are very similar. I think I am leaning toward DewDrop, sometimes MountainAir goes a bit too green.

Here they are on the jamb of my closet door

Have you tried testing paints with Samplize? (not a paid endorsement .🤣 )

No, for a few reasons.

- I tend to overthink and if I go down that road once, it will become always. So, I dont want to open the door.

- I ”should” be able to do without.

- Paintstores near me dont have and so it would be another thing to order to be delivered. (carbon footprint)

- More in waste stream (carbon footprint)

(And I have no problem ordering things when necessary, I just try to not order so much)

In this case either of these colors will be very nice, I dont need to get too too obsessive. lol!

What a cool door! Can’t wait to see afters. This room is going to be so charming and full of character. :)

I looooooooove your door! And that paper is gorgeous with that door! You've been holding out on us.

Thank you both. all the upstairs doors are old and full of character. I do appreciate them.

I just keep going back to look at it, i adore the colors with the door.

I also now understand the orangish flower in the rug. I felt the pattern of the rug may be too similar in scale and form to the paper (I find it so much easier to mix curvilinear patterns with stripes, checks or very small scale florals). However, with the rug being on a different plane, it probably doesn't matter the way it would if you had two pillows those two patterns ,,, if that makes sense.

The wallpaper hasn’t arrived yet, but DH has finished painting all the other walls, and ooooh I am loving the color(SW Dewdrop)

Beautiful color! And looks perfect in relation to the wonderful views. Love your trim color, too.

Hurry up and get there, wallpaper!

Gorgeous!

I love the colors in the room and wow your view is amazing!!

Stunning views, inside and out! Cannot wait to see everything in place.

So pretty, all of it !!

Pretty color that works so well with the view!

Dang! Those views are perfection....and...great paint color.

That color, those views!

I really wish we had an older house with those doors! Could live with those views for sure. Love the paint colors. What is the trim color? I missed it if you mentioned it. I cannot wait to see the finished product!

@cyn427 (z. 7, N. VA) We were fortunate to find an old house in a great location that had all its systems update. They did go modern in aesthetic which felt wtong to me snd I’ve been undoing but I have no complaints just gratitude. And they did leave the chatming old doors upstairs. The trim color is SW Gossamer Veil, its a greenish grey. Its very changeable in the light.

Love that view and the old door. Looking forward to the finished photos!

Yippee! The stars aligned. The wallpaper arrived and I was able to put it up this past weekend, and DH was able to put up the new reading lights quickly. I am very happy with how it turned out. Pillows need work but that is not a crisis.

Love the wallpaper installation! Congrats. I like the look with the sconces too.

Lovely! The finish on your bedframe/ headboard picks up that little bit of rust in the paper alomg with the pillows. The rest is a calm sea of soothing color and pattern. Very well thought out and a color scheme you can live happily with for years because it is not trendy— just beautiful!

Did you pick out a rug?

It all looks fabulous!!!!!

pretty!

I love it! That wallpaper is gorgeous. Love the windows, too. Id like to see your rug.

How exciting! Great colors and I love the pattern.

So pretty.

Thanks all. No rug yet, and I will not be ordering a rug for a while. We are still working on the ensuite. That is the last indoor project we need to wrap up before we leave on vacation and have people in house/pet sitting. Everything else goes on the post-France list. :)

Very pretty!

Enjoy your trip knowing you come home to a beautiful 'new' bedroom!

Fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks well put together!

Looks great!

Very pretty!

You must be thrilled - looks so lovely!

Very nice!

Highlights the windows so wonderfully. You nailed it. Thanks for posting an update.

Very nice! I love the colors and the wallpaper pattern. Can you share the brand/pattern?

Local, can you share where you found your sconces? Do they offer enough light to read in bed at night?

It looks great! Beautiful choices.

@lizbeth-gardener The wallpaper brand is Chesapeake, the Kinfolk Collection

@ratherbesewing The sconces are made by Sonneman. They are the large dimmable Pitch. Dimmable was a requirement for me. They provide quite ample lighting. https://www.allmodern.com/lighting/pdp/pitch-2025-metal-led-plug-in-swing-arm-sconce-a110008622.html?piid=1363338502

It all came together beautifully - love the wallpaper and the paint color is perfect with it.

Well done.

That is just perfect - love it!

That looks gorgeous. I love your furniture, too.

It all looks perfect. Enjoy it!
