I forgot that the gallery was there; I will go look. I have polled the family, and even though I was the one who did the faux top half, everyone says thatÂs their favorite paint treatment in the house. I think they all remember me adding a new color to it now and then over time. In the pictures the base color looks pink, itÂs really a soft salmon. I could easily put a glaze over it to subdue it more, as long as I didnÂt have to match the unpainted parts of it. The more I look at the border the more dated I feel it is. I think I needed someone to tell me. I also thought of a chair rail, which I would like, except the whole issue of that awkward doorway into the kitchen. I would love to case all these drywalled doorways, but I have a lot of them, and I think the effect would not be worth the amount of effort it would take. If I did one I feel like I would have to do all of them. IÂm not sure about casing a doorway that has no door, eitherÂwould it look odd? Plus I have my new DR furniture in, and the buffet is higher than my old one, effectively covering much of a chair rail if I had one. I think my best option is to cover the old border with a new border, or remove it and put in a new one. At least I can paint first without having to protect the border. I do like the idea of something architectural, ajsmama! I love egg and dart. You reminded me, I was in a new hotel this last summer that had a wonderful architectural "crown molding" that was a border. That leads me to think maybe something that LOOKS like a chair rail, like tromp dÂoeil. I think it could go well with the new formal furniture too.

Cindyloo, I had to laugh when I read about your angry three-year-old peeling wallpaper. There's a famous story in my mother's family about her brother, who was four or five when the family moved to yet another ramshackle rectory in the village where my grandfather had the church. In a corner of the living room the aged wallpaper had begun to peel, and he just couldn't help himself...my grandmother came into the room to see him happily shearing the paper off with a silver butter knife. "What on earth are you DOING!" cried my grandmother, to which he, all round-eyed innocence, replied, "Oh, I was just standing here, with the paper knife in my hand...the clock struck, and the paper fell off the wall!"

What's your bedding? I wouldn't select wallpaper without already having an idea about bedding. You may select something you can't find anything that works with the wallpaper. This wallpaper will work with different colors of bedding. https://www.thibautdesign.com/catalog/product/details/product/thai_ikat_t4951/material/wallpaper/colorway/apple_green_8/ You could also use pattern on the window covering instead of wallpaper on the walls.

No matter what paper you go with, I would also paper the ceiling with it as well. If you are going to mix and match patterns dont be shy about it and really envelop the space. Consider painting the inside of the door as well. @Jilly had a good last pic. If you used it, I’d do the ceiling amd paint the back of the door the background color of the wallpaper.
