Okay I've looked at the wallpaper and here are some choices.

#1 - http://www.cumberlandwoodcraft.com/s...id=1390&step=4

#2 - http://www.cumberlandwoodcraft.com/s...pid=667&step=4

#3 - http://www.cumberlandwoodcraft.com/s...tid=179&step=4

#4 - http://www.cumberlandwoodcraft.com/s...pid=600&step=4

#5 - http://www.cumberlandwoodcraft.com/s...pid=607&step=4 (this one comes in white background)

I'm pretty sure I know which one I want, but would like to see what you all think. Remember, my 3 walls are historical burgundy and my accessories will be white.

I really liked the first one. some of the others looked a little busy.
It looks very Victorian

I like #'s 2 and 5 the best and then #3.........

But I noticed a double roll on a couple fo them are close to $60 per double roll...if you pick on of those I would go with the original pick since it is close in price...

what is your favorite homestead mamma??

#4 hands down!
I love #4... its light so it will lighten up the room a little... it will go well with your white accents.
Some of the others are pretty but too dark when you already have 3 dark walls. I think a lighter wall would be pretty.

#5 is very pretty... but #4 is more victorian imo.

#4

So hard to vote, I think the last one is nice, the one with the dragonflies is victorian, all nice......
Here is another idea.....
Add texture to the walls...... Victorian wallpaper did not always go all of the way to the ceiling and some times it went right up the ceiling and on the ceilings themselves..... If you leave a space at the top of the wall. buy a few yards of wide very flat lace, dip it the wallpaper paste and apply to the wall like a border, when it's dry paint it the same as the wall color. This will give you some texture...... Buy a can of clear drying wallpaper paste..... What you have left over works great for Modge Podge....... Where the top of the wallpaper starts a few inches or even a foot down the wall, use a thin flat molding to trim the top of the wallpaper, paint it in the wall color, this will finish the edge, you'll need a molding on the paper even if it goes to the ceiling...
Another tip.....
If you are buying on line, it is hard to match colors well..... I usuallt buy wallpaper first and them paint.... Buy a paper that has colors that go well but are not expected to match perfectly.. That way when you get it you won't be disapointed that you have a mismatch....... Hope this helps..... It sound like it is going to be beautiful no matter what you choose to do........ Restoring an old house is so much fun !!!!

#5 with the white backround. Second choice would be #1

**aylasmommy** · 09-27-2002, 09:16 PM

I think number one was my favorite..It looks both masculine and feminin at the same time

number 4 was my other favorite...but I don't think I liked the spacing of the stripes too much.. but the others I did not like

but that's just me ...it's your room remember

**QuilterMom** · 09-27-2002, 09:19 PM

#5 is my first choice, #2 is my second choice.

**homesteadmamma** · 09-27-2002, 09:33 PM

Okay you ladies, thanks for voting. I'm going to leave this for a couple of days and see who else might pick what.

btw - I won't be purchasing this one line - I don't own a cc. What I plan on doing is finding similar wall paper here and hopefully at 50% off. I'm waiting for one wallpaper place to do that.

The other wallpaper place doesn't do that or I'd get my first choice from before. UGH.

You lades are the BEST!!
