Well, the fun has begun and my floors are being removed. The young man I hired said [optimistically] "I can have this all up in one day!" :) Yesterday he discovered not 2 or 3, but SEVEN floors in the kitchen. (Explains why the ceiling is only 7'8" high?) So only the mudroom and most of the kitchen came up. Have to say he really did impress us with his effort (broke two saw blades in the first hour and had to go to HD for more....then the crow bars came out). DH ran into him there again 8:00 last night loading his truck with the backing boards, and he'd picked up the tile before that. One reason I hired him was that he told me proudly he was 3rd generation floor installers. Tile, stone and Hardwood. A tribe! (My son hates when I talk this way, but I think it's unfortunate the 'tribal concept' is diminishing today. You know, shoemakers father to son type of thing.) So yesterday when he left he said "Tomorrow I will have help with me." I smiled to myself. Uh huh, you guessed it! Today Grandpa (Or Wise Tribal Tile Elder) is on the job. :D The cool thing is...I'm trying not to get my hopes up BUT...the hardwood under that tile in the foyer looks pretty good. I thought it would be destroyed (might still be). The tile is this thick terra cotta stuff (looks like a terra cotta tile roof is being removed inside my house!), sitting on a mudbed, with roofing-like tarpaper under it. And it's stapled, NOT nailed down. IF it's salvagable I'll have them refinish the wood and return a couple boxes of tile. Good thing you can't hear the jack-hammering while you read the post (posts w/sound?). ANYWAY...got the paint chips yesterday (and most of the PR wallpaper removed). Surprisingly leaning toward Baby Turtle (name didn't impress me, LOL!). Thinking maybe a darker green than originally??? The ones I've zeroed in on are [clockwise from left]: Camoflage (another surprising name to like), Baby Turtle, Flowering Herbs and Nantucket Gray [far right]. The one right before Nantucket Gray called Wethersfield Moss is calling to me too. This is NO FLASH - so the color is right but it's fuzzy: This is WITH FLASH - colors seem washed out a bit. This is REALLY hard! Dark like Wethersfield Moss??? Or light like Camoflage??? Or a medium shade like Baby Turtle??? Maybe I should get those 3 in small pints and paint them on the wall?

thanks trailrunner and bee! bee, here is the process for the metallic ceiling. i took a sample of my wallpaper to the paint store and found a regular color that was a close match to the color of background of the wallpaper (in my case it was Mortar by C2). then I chose a jar of Modern Master metallic paint that was a close match to the background of the wallpaper (in my case it was called Champagne). So the regular paint goes on first as a base and then the metallic over it - the metallic is sort of transulcent which is why it needs a base paint first. Linking the paint company below. Good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Modern Master paint

I like faux brick wallpaper, but I think it belongs on a wall that you could imagine brick belonged there. Give a look at some other options. https://www.google.com/search?rls=en&q=thibaut+wallpaper+behind+bed&tbm=isch&source=univ&client=safari&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwik4aL0kJXlAhUNm-AKHejGCtoQsAR6BAgEEAE&biw=1280&bih=685#imgrc=_

I found Keri quickly on Instagram. If you’re on IG I‘d message her or comment on her posts about the show and she if she or someone else responds. She has several photos with tagged accounts of people and companies involved in the set design as well.
