The two wallpapered bedroom pics I posted yesterday -- the second pic is the wallpaper second from the right in my most recent pics. That one is too blue for my room, but the one next to it, the far right, is the same in a different colorway. So that pic shows the scale pretty well, I think. IRL the scale of the rug is very different from the scale of the wallpaper.

I'm going to see if I can find a local wallpaper store that has these Wm Morris papers...

ETA found this pic too. Not the same color but shows the scale on a similar size wall.

Will the room be bright enough for you with dark wallpaper? If you're keeping the rug I think a touch of pink in the paper would be nice.

Oakley, there is pink in the paper. https://www.wallpaperdirect.com/us/products/morris/pimpernel/82823?msclkid=c9132d50f4ea1b646968731d6defef6a&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=PLC%20%7C%20USA%20%7C%20Wallpaper%20%7C%20Morris&utm_term=4580359290195002&utm_content=Wallpaper%20%7C%20Morris

This is a bad mock up Sue, sorry! The scale looks fine but the colors in the rug and wallpaper patterns are very similar. I’m wondering if your bed might get lost in all that. You said you were keeping it? Maybe a solid headboard, wood or upholstery, might anchor the room better.

Darker paper

Your colorway:

Thanks, kswl! Keeping the headboard, but that’s food for thought — with black headboard and nightstands, do I want a lighter wallpaper.

Now that it’s dark out, I need to go back and look at the samples on the wall again.

Just a note — the flowers on my rug are much bigger than the flowers on the wallpaper. Like maybe 3x the size. And there are really only two flowers on the rug.

The scale is no problem and the two elements really sing together. How pretty would a pale green velvet upholstered headboard be against that paper? Don’t one of your other bedrooms need a bed upgrade? Wink wink.

I get keeping the headboard.. We used to have a queen bed and were about to shop for a new mattress when DH got sick. He needed a different kind of bed support and more room when he came home from the hospital so I had a king natural latex bed delivered day after we got home. I kept meaning to get another headboard but there were too many other things that took precedence. Months later here we are in a new house and I still have a king bed with a queen headboard. It’s perfectly good and actually makes the bed look smaller. Your rail headboard probably makes your room look bigger, plus it’s newer. i think of your term scope-creep often, lol. I try to prevent it from happening on my projects but have no problem recommending it to others!

Ha! Yup, you mean like the fact that I’m now also going to wallpaper my foyer?

If you want to enjoy the wallpaper, but given the room isn't large, you could just wallpaper the wall behind the bed and paint the other walls in a coordinating color...would save some $$ too. Those papers are not cheap. I put mine up as just panels in the DR.

Annie —my plan all along has been to only paper that one wall.

Lol, Sue! Wallpaper creep!

Sue, your bedroom is going to be beautiful. Tell us which paper you chose for your foyer please! In the meantime, I'll be looking at lampshades......

The PB nightstands have arrived and are sitting in boxes in my foyer.

I am still loving the dark wallpaper sample.

Today I’m hoping to find chalk paint and will start painting the bench this weekend.

Also trying to find a blanket for the bed. It will be folded at the foot, not “installed” within the quilt. I run hot at night but sometimes want an extra layer when I first get into bed. So, a throw isn’t going to be big enough so I‘m thinking maybe a twin or full? Our bed is a king but a king size blanket would be overkill. I‘d like to find just the right pink/coral color but it’s not easy to find! So far this is what I’ve found. I don’t really want fleece even though I did include that last blanket. And I think the Eileen Fisher quilt is just too much...quilty texture with my quilt. The West Elm one I like, but may not be the right green.

There is a place that custom dies (cashmere) blankets to match colors, iirc.

Also, I stopped in a Home Goods yesterday, and they carried several pillows and throws in pink hues, from soft blush to near-salmon shades. Pink must be in now.

Pink is totally in!

Mtn, now you know I’m not going to get a custom dyed cashmere blanket, don’t you? 😆

I am actually going to pop over to HG today, will see what they have!

ETA, found this, pricey but I really like it.

Weighing in on the one on the far right, but if you decide against it, I do like the third from the left. It is plain and may be boring but it looks like it would be a contender.

For a pink throw, look at Annie Selke/Pine Cone Hill. I think I saw some pink ones there.

Thanks, Outside, you’re right, AS has lots of pink but it’s mostly pale pink, and I am looking for that tricky sort of terra-cotta-type color... dark pink? Dusty coral?

I love that Serena and Lily coverlet and shams! Can you use that and keep the other set as a backup in case the dog throws up on your bed? Don’t ask.

Well I still like my quilt set but I’d use the S&L as a blanket/throw along with the quilt. Fortunately our dogs are too short to get onto our bed!

I went to the wallpaper store today and looked at Every Single Book and only found one remote possibility but I think this one looks like I tried to “match” the quilt pattern. Not a winner.

They only had a couple Morris books and NOT the patterns I liked, but she’s ordering me another sample of my favorite paper (the dark one).

Grr I just had a post disappear!

Just wanted to share this pic of dark wallpaper and dark nightstand (okay, just sssshhh about the headboard, it’s not happening). I like the look! And I even like the lamp.

I like this lamp too. Of course it’s over $500...

Looks nice. I vote Ballard; to me the other one looks like something you could have had for years IYKWIM. I do admit though brass might look good against the dark wallpaper.

Sue, can you paint the headboard? The black iron will disappear against that dark wallpaper but a lighter color would show up against it.

Love that brass lamp and brass might be better on the dark nightstands,although that particular one looks a little top heavy.

Uh oh, now I have two favorites.

Here they are with the rug.

Both are nice and work fine, but I really like the larger scale of the floral one.

Love the first one! The scale is perfect and the headboard will show up much better on it than the darker paper. And the colors are spot on.

FWIW, another vote with Annie and KSWL. I like the larger one too

Ok, I should have known, first instinct was correct! DH loves it, too.

Sadly this project is on hold because my dad is very sick in the hospital and I’m staying nearby (different state from me) for the foreseeable future. Just FYI for anyone who might start wondering “what happened to the project she was so fired up about?” To be continued at some point.

So sorry, Sueb. Prayers for your Dad and you.

So sorry to hear, Sue.. wishing all the best for your dad.

So sorry to hear this - please take care.

Sorry to hear this...hang tough and thoughts for good health for all.

Oh goodness, Sue, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope he is better soon.

Sorry to hear about your father. Best wishes for his speedy recovery.

((((Hugs))))

So sorry Sue. Sending positive thoughts.

Very sorry to hear this and hope for the best possible outcome for your dad. Having an elderly parent is good health is scary because you're always waiting for that shoe to drop. My mom is 87 in a few months. Last July she fell in a Publix (someone backed up into her) and she took down a dried fruit display and landed on her back on a concrete floor. Miraculously she was not hurt other than very sore and with astounding bruises all over the right side of her body (blood thinners). And annoyed at the six hours spent in the ER! After that I was even more paranoid that the next problem would be the big one and I’m still on tenterhooks waiting for it.

I so empathize and will be thinking of ((you both)).

In the spirit of following up.... of course my dad's situation and the end of life as we knew it (ie Covid) have put a delay in my project. But I did get the pricey glass/brass lamps and the PB nightstands. Both are great. I haven't done anything about wallpaper but I may just order it this weekend so I have it, then I'll be ready for the installer when people can leave their houses again.

After waffling over and over again about the bench versus the Ballard (black) storage cabinet, I finally ordered the Ballard cabinet today. I'm excited. The bench will be more at home at our beach cottage. I think I'll also have room for the cherry wood chair that is in the downstairs sitting room (you know about that chair if you followed that thread), which will work well with the cherry dressers.

I do have to say, the quilt I bought is just...okay. The color of it looks like beige that is a bit dirty. Not sure how else to describe it. Also, because I am a lazy bed maker, lining up the pattern around the edges is just annoying. I do have a more plain beige colored quilt that has been our summer bedding, so I may just end up using that. I will post pics when the wallpaper is finally done!

Finally wrapping up this minor project that has taken forever! Wallpaper is here and installer is coming on Thursday. I can’t wait! Also, after much thought, I ordered a dusty rose colored quilt set because I just wasn’t loving the beige.

The wallpaper:

The quilt:

BTW, I love the black cabinet from Ballard. Great quality and it’s serving exactly the purpose I needed.

Wow - I can't wait to see the finished project. That wallpaper is stunning and the new quilt should pick up that rose shade perfectly.

So glad you are getting that beautiful rose colored quilt. The other one was just not worthy of the wallpaper 😎

Love the new quilt set - looking forward to seeing that gorgeous wallpaper installed!!

Can't wait to see it all come together!

Love your style! That quilt will be perfect with your wallpaper. Looking forward to the end results.

Ooooo, the quilt is very pretty! I know you are excited to finally see things come together.

What a teaser! I really love the dusty rose with the wallpaper.

Looking forward to seeing it, esp that wallpaper! Love it!

I'm looking forward to seeing your finished room. I love seeing the outcome of projects.
