nice decorating idea! if you do that what you said that will be great... the webpage mention you in your that is amazing..

Thanks

Since this is a custom paper, I would consider matching the ground color of the paper to the wall color.

Someone just pointed us in the direction of a chinoiserie digital reproduction - the print looks very nice but we're waiting for the sample to compare. It's about half the price and may wear better with 3 kids and a large dog in the house. Any thoughts? Part of me wants to just do the hand painted silk but the concern is how well it holds up to wear in a busy house. I know I'll be annoyed if the kids smudge it, or if the dog rubs his snotty nose on it....you shoukd see the wall where his food bowl is! There's also the thought that if we move we would be leaving behind a very expensive wall covering vs. a less expensive one.

Regardless, I think we were going to shoot for a base color between the wall and the rug so that it stands out more. Since the textures will be different I would think trying to match a color will be almost impossible anyway

This type of paper is often hung archivally: on a layers of liner paper + muslin, so it can be taken down and taken with you. It increases the labor cost quite a bit, and someone has to know how to do it, but I'm not sure I would trust silk to just any paper hanger anyway.

That interesting thank you. Have you ever seen anything like it in person 5 /10 years after installation? It looks really nice but just concerned that we are spending a lot of money on something that won't stand te test of time. Normally we are ok with paying up to get better quality, but not f it's too delicate.
