If the bedroom's a treehouse, why can't another room be the forest?



These I found at Anthropologie.com. Despite their birchness, they are the only wall-paper that has ever reminded me of the scene in Emily's Quest wherein she is decorating the Disappointed House, especially these lines regarding her choice of wall-paper:

Aunt Elizabeth approved of the cupboards but thought [Emily and Dean] were clean daft in regard to the wallpapers. Especially the living-room paper. They should have had something cheerful there--flowers or gold stripes; or even, as a vast concession to modernity, some of those "landscape papers" that were coming in. But Emily insisted on papering it with a shadowy grey paper with snowy pine branches over it. Aunt Elizabeth declared she would as soon live in the woods as in such a room.

  1. I've been a fan of this wallpaper for a long time! I forgot it was available at Anthro now.
