Linelle, Thank you for replying. The Paint sample card and formula for SW Antique White and BM Bone White are very very close. I was told my Sherwin Williams the difference is SW Antique White has a tiny drop of brown in it and BM Bone White has a tiny drop of Magenta or Red in it (I think it was BM that used red and SW used Magenta). I would have to match the SW Antique White in the BM Aura paint and I am not sure how close they would match it so I decided to stay with the BM Bone White that I love that is in the family room that has more light so I feared it would be too dark in my home office. But after moving the painted board around (from over 2.5 years ago when I was choosing wall colors) and paint chips around my rooms (recent ones.... 4 - 5 for each color cut out and lined up in a row on white paper), I think I can't go wrong with the BM Bone White or the SW Antique White. I like the BM Palace White but I am glad you told me you liked it but don't love it like you do your SW Antique White and BM Camouflage. Any pics of the BM Camouflage for maybe the spare bedroom that had BM Philadelphia Cream in it that is way too yellow for that room and needs to be repainted? By the way, I LOVE my BM Bone white in my family room, hallway upstairs and the area going up the steps. But I only like it in the laundry room and in the kitchen and in the storage room. Lighting and what is in the room really affects the color of the paint. I have not yet bought the paint so I am tempted to buy a pint of the SW Antique White and BM Bone White in the Aura formula and try both on the wall to see how I feel. Thanks again for your help. I work in my home office many hours during the day and many times at night and when I am not working but instead on my PC doing other things like being on this decorating site as I eat dinner, I am in the home office also so the wall color is very important to me. I like wall colors that are happy and peaceful which do not clash with furniture or tile around them.

Actually they are cute, in a campy sort of way. I thing your idea of twigs would look good. Maybe use some dried green moss for the ground. And some pretty stones. I like the idea of burlap shades, too. I'd probably paint the metal an oil rubbed bronze color. I think the metal parts should fade away, and the globes should be the focus. When I was in grade school, I had an apothocary jar decorated almost identically - with the same dried flowers. Mine had ceramic quail in it! That was the late 60's.

Hmmm. I think this is a Sugar Gum Eucalyptus cladocalyx, native to several small, isolated areas in South Australia. Does this tree have a lot of oozing gum staining the ground dark brown around the base? If so this would also indicate it is a Sugar Gum. The expanse of the root zone is probably roughly proportionate to its height. In the Flinders Ranges Sugar Gum grows to about 35 metres but it's smaller on Eyre Peninsula. It's also smaller on the north coast of Kangaroo Island where it's probably affected by its greater exposure to salt & sea winds. Outside its natural range it can develop into quite a tall tree. Be wary of planting rows of this species because they cause wind speed to increase as the wind passes between the trees (known as Bernoulli's principle). This can result in soil erosion around the tree bases, particularly in places where there is poor quality & quantity of understorey. Where is this tree, Paul?

So I just came across this photo from EmilyClark's home. thought it could be an inspiration for yours given the same layout. ( I know your ceiling is taller, so you could go w/a nice vertical picture if you like. just showing other elements like window covering and furniture/and placement) from another angle, (the sofa faces the fireplace)
