That chartreuse wall immediately made me think of Stephen Huneck--is that one of his paintings, with the dog with the ball in its mouth?
What a nice and happy house.

My “friend with taste” had walls exactly that color until he went all grey-like. Is was glorious!
When I fantasize about housing, I always picture a coral or rose living room, possibly with wallpaper, and a celery-green kitchen. And Siriano's decor makes me see how I can tie the two together.
I prefer "earthy" colors on the walls. My husband on the other hand likes to do accent walls with pops of color. So far, he has managed to talk me into an accent wall in the kitchen and the downstairs bedroom. They are very similar colors which I describe as "salmon-ish".
In my home, I am definitely taking inspiration from Huneck--he uses a lot of aqua, terra cotta, spring green, navy and yellow. When my health insurance premiums dropped by several hundred dollars when I turned 65 by going onto Medicare, I treated myself to a 65th birthday gift: this print by Huneck called "She Sings a Lovely Song" It's a good example of his palette.Originally Posted by Tybee

That's really lovely.
May I add, that is such a good idea about the celebratory print. Maybe when we sell one of these houses, I will do the same thing with a print from Kristin Nelson, who is an artist I like a lot, kind of similar to Huneck. (Yes, she was married to Rick Nelson, that Kristin Nelson.)

Huneck's images remind me of some of Jacqui Lawson ecards.
While I like some of the items in Siriano's country setting such as the chair with floral upholstery and lime accent, to live in so much stimulation would drive me insane and irritable. What is with all the female nudes anyway?

I am pumped about the new removable wallpapers. Makes me want to try wallpaper. I have always been afraid of it because so difficult to remove.
There's a gal on Instagram who calls her page candycoloredhome that I think you'd like.

Your DH will hate you if you use wallpaper after all his efforts on smoothing the walls. I would first find out if there is something to prevent the wallpaper from sticking to al the new smoothing he has done. I love wallpaper but wallboard and fresh plaster just grabs it and holds on tight. Unless there is a new approach that will seal the new wallboard and fresh plaster and yet keep the wallpaper on the wall, go carefully.
