It’s so pretty.
It looks good with the pink upholstery fabric I bought on eBay too. I’m going to put white curtains up instead of ivory, and I think the rug could stay (for now at least).
I was going to paint the ceiling the same color as the living room, but I don’t think it will look as good as I thought it would. Maybe white, gray (to match or a little darker), or pink?

April 9, 2008 at 3:06 pmThat wallpaper is beautiful, and I love the fabric! I wish I had as much luck finding fabric as you do, but nothing has popped out at me so far in my searches.

April 9, 2008 at 3:16 pmIt’s going to look great! I think gray to match would be pretty. No sense taking away from that gorgeous paper.
Funny, though, the birds and leaves are black and I thought it was deep navy online. Looks like you got black in your dining room after all. (Referring back to the IKEA rug).

April 9, 2008 at 4:46 pmLove Mibo to bits. What about painting the ceiling the same color as the birds’ chests?

drey
April 9, 2008 at 8:45 pmwow this is going to look stunning! i love the pink upholstery fabric! a warm pink on the ceiling will also look awesome! or getting a ceiling rose and painting that pink against a white ceiling?

April 9, 2008 at 10:44 pmI’d vote for a slightly darker shade of gray on the ceiling. It’d add just a little contrast.

I wasn’t sure I liked that wallpaper (my taste runs more to geometry than birdies on the walls) but I’m digging how it looks in your space!
I’ll be the 23472834th person to say “I can’t wait to see it hung up!”
Amy
April 10, 2008 at 10:29 amOh! That is simply lovely. It’s great to see a large sample of it. I also can’t wait to see it up!

April 10, 2008 at 10:37 amTrusting your instinct is all apart of being a designer, it is just a challenge for those that have to live with us, through all our incarnations! You did it, that paper is fabulous. I would love to see a pale ceiling – something like a pink sky at night, sailors delight and I would love to see some glorious pinky/ coral curtains in a taffeta, billowy and beautiful! Can’t wait to see it all complete.
Will you be hanging the paper yourself?
Making it Lovely
April 10, 2008 at 1:44 pmYes, we’ll be hanging the paper. I’m not sure when we’ll do it yet though – I’m so busy these days getting ready for the National Stationery Show.
Drey, I love the pink ceiling medallion idea! Our fixture is rectangular though.
Shannon, thanks! Only the fabric came from eBay.

April 10, 2008 at 7:08 pmFabulous- I would go with the pink ceiling. How lovely to eat dinner at your table under a warm glow!

June 1, 2008 at 11:32 pm[…] we’ll have time to hang our wallpaper soon in the dining room. I think the new rug might look good in there too, or in the bedroom. […]
