These images look fabulous - I will definitely be having a look at this gorgeous book.
Wow! I love that photo of the dining room with mural- very chic!
I put a wallpaper mural panel on a door in my living room. It was kind of meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but you know everyone who sees it, loves it, and after four years I'm still not tired of looking at it. It's like Alice going through the looking glass - you just kind of trip out on the large scale, and get pulled into the scene LOL
I tend to gravitate to "old" decor....my kids used to think I'm just boring, but I feel more comfortable with "well-used" furniture items. And after my girls have expressed their opinions about my "old" styles, they often want to have what I have purchased for my use..Funny! I have given them both two living room sets - both "old" furniture. Note that I am in my mid-60's and remember those styles with fondness.....
