Decor Arts Now

By Lynn Byrne. If only my current spruce-up project around my house could involve new wallpaper.  Alas, no.  Larry is going along with my efforts, but pulls up short when I hint about anything that would actually disrupt our home more than a UPS delivery.  So no new wallpaper.

Too bad, because I am currently drooling over Cole & Son’s classic Lily wallpaper.

Here it is in the pink colorway in the dining room of Keith Johnson, buyer-at-large for Anthropologie.

Gray has a dreamy moody feel.

Love it in beige.

Finally here is a close up of the blue green colorway.  Has anyone seen a room shot using this color other than the one on the Cole & Son website (where I got this close up)?  I would love to see it. 

Cole & Son have this paper in their Contemporary II collection, but what I like most about it is its timelessness.  Yes, it can have a mod feel, but at the same time, it could have been designed during the Art Nouveau period around the turn of the last century.  I find it intriguing because you cannot easily pinpoint when it was first made.  Someday I will find the perfect spot for it.
