Comments on: Simple Wallpapered Room and Sofa http://www.katyelliott.com/blog/2009/12/simple-wallpaper-room.html A daily design journal about new england life, home decorating resources, and renovating a 257-year-old house in Marblehead, MA.

I don't care what my boyfriend thinks anymore in terms of furniture selection. He's finishing the basement so that he can have a wine cellar man cave. I could care less about going down there. The spiders are huge! The lavender could be really girly but I think you could make it more masculine but introducing some greys and more masculine suiting stripes in the room.

Exactly what I'd like for my own little sitting room someday- I'd get to keep it to myself, because that color makes my boyfriend cringe. What is it with men thinking that their "taste" counts? :) Your green really is lovely- it's floating somewhere between color and neutral, so very practical as well. I've got a little color-envy going on, as it's not a color that seems to work well in the NW. Something about the light or the evergreens? Who knows. That sofa is too perfect.

Maybe inspiration for another room in the house? The beams are not going to be exposed in the den. It just doesn't work with the decorative molding and we have weird other issues. But I have a room that's just behind the den that might get wallpapered like the above photo and we could expose the beams in that room, hopefully. It is a great room.

Your room could look just like it if you leave the ceiling beams exposed and use Peel-Away #1 on the floors. I used it on mine (also covered in lead paint) and it worked very well. Beautiful room.

I love that shade of green. http://www.katyelliott.com/blog/2008/03/grand-central-late-night.html Thanks guys.
