Karen: which technique are you doing? Textured wallpaper over old wallpaper? Or one of the others? Rereading my post (after getting some sleep) it reads more like I am asking about texturing with drywall compound (like imitating venetian plaster, or a tuscan stucco look). PLEASE come back and tell me how it went! I have seen the paper bag technique done on home improvement shows. ItÂs actually simpler. Dipping in poly would be very messy and sticky. You adhere the paper with latex glaze or acrylic matte medium. Then cover with the same clear liquid to seal it in before painting. My hesitation with doing that is if someday down the road you didnÂt want such a texture, you could NEVER get it off. The entire room would have to be skimcoated by someone with the skills to get it really flat and smooth. I donÂt think I want to go that route. At least with drywall compound texturing it could be sanded off smooth easily.

Cran, I am usually the one who needs a fire lit under me! Arapaho I also gravitate towards greens and yellows and those are the predominant colors downstairs. I made a concerted effort upstairs to use blue and white and taupe in the main living area and secondary bedrooms. Tina, part of the reason I wanted to leave off the chair skirt is because I wasn’t sure I have enough fabric for it. A large plaid or pattern repeat means just a club chair skirt can take 3 yards of fabric! So after I saw the bed I called the upholsterer and told him to leave off the skirt and change the legs to turned ones. It was a question of necessity as much as happy coincidence.

How do you feel about going bold and dramatic in the powder room? For instance: https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/rifle-paper-co-peacock-wallpaper?color=001&size=One%20Size&inventoryCountry=US&countryCode=US&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzpnF176b7gIVSODACh1wKQ94EAQYDiABEgIjJfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&type=STANDARD&quantity=1 Or doing a navy background wallpaper with black trim (ignore this wallpaper, just wanted to show the black trim): Something more subtle, but very classic ... William Morris Pimpernel. It would look amazing with black trim: https://www.finestwallpaper.com/store/p5321/Morris_%26_Co_-_Pure_Pimpernel_Wallpaper.html It comes in various colors ...

I like the 2nd one by far the best, though all are nice. It just seems to make more of a statement, and hard to see but it appears to have a "gold" flower that would appear in the pattern occasionally. I could see highlighting that with the chandelier you select...such as something shown in the 3rd photo from Maureen. Hoping you do have some nice outdoor light coming through. I love the navy, but ideally maybe find something navy with a "hint" at least of beige or your green as in your other rooms. A historical toile would be nice. Anthropologie has a very cool mural that might work too. So many choices, right?!
