The arsenic color was used on the walls of this pretty Victorian house featured in Living Etc. It's such a pretty, clear color.
A couple months ago I bought about 10 triple rolls of this wallpaper at the Brunschwig and Fils sample sale. It's pretty spot on with the arsenic paint color. I think I paid either $2 or $3 a roll. It was insane.
It wasn't until I got home that I realized that half of the rolls were a smaller, different pattern. I'm thinking of using the smaller pattern on the daybed wall in my office.
I've got plans for a big piece of modern art layered on top to mix up the more traditional pattern. I'm super excited.
Spoiler alert: I brought a few rolls of the bigger damask with me to Arizona. Mom and I did a little mini-reno of her kitchen this week and the wallpaper makes an appearance. Can't wait to share the photos next week. I'm trying to dig up some before photos for you. Aren't afters are always better when you can see the befores?
Happy weekend! xoxo

OOOH!! What an amazing color! I can't wait to see the afters!!
I hope you've had a wonderful (and restful? probably not!) vacation, Jenny. I love your blog!
Jenny, I am LOVING your office! What a cool wallpaper. You are braver than I, but somehow you always pull it off effortlessly.
I can't wiat to see your photos!
Wow - that is an amazing price on that wallpaper. I love it!! I think it's perfect for that wall and a modern art piece layered on top would be very cool.
Can't wait to see the kitchen. I agree 100% with the before and after photos.
I can't tell if I like it just because you do, Jenny. Hmmm. :) Guess that means you are a tastemaker. yes?

I love the colour of the Farrow & Ball paint, and the wallpaper is stunning. Personally, I prefer using neutral colours for the most part but I love how bright pops of colour can really make a difference when mixed in. I can't wait to see what you've done/what you do with the wallpaper!

Beautiful wall color and wallpaper! I like your plan of wallpapering behind your daybed; looks like it will be so pretty! Thanks for sharing your great ideas!
That's really pretty!
I'll have to find out if Brunschwig ever has a sample sale in Boston. It would be fun to go.
Love that green damask! I cant wait to see how it turns out - and your parents kitchen!

Looooove the sconces over the daybed! Would you mind sharing where you purchased them?
That color is gorgeous! That minty color seems to be all the rage lately and I can see why :)

This is such an awesome color!! I so agree before and after pictures are always great to see!!
in love with that first wall paper!! can't wait to see the kitchen.
Oooh Jenny I love it when psychic waves travel through the blogosphere -- I just wrote about Farrow & Ball today as well! (Not in a decor way. I was discussing their radical paint names, like DEAD SALMON and SMOKED TROUT and how it relates to my pasty white legs. They must have a fish thing. So wacky!) I LOVE this Arsenic color! And your wallpaper, can't wait to see!
Do you know who makes the floral print on the pillows in the 2nd pic - I LOVE it!
Gorgeous colour and LOVE that wallpaper! Can't wait to see what you do with it. It would look great on that wall :)
That F&B shade is beautiful, and I love the sample interior. Can't wait to see how that part of your office area turns out.
P.S. Really enjoyed your post on Cup of Jo.
LOVE this wall paper idea! And those are the colors of my home. maybe a remodel is in order??
What a deal! Can't wait to see the results :)

Wow..thx for sharing this color. I have tried a few lately, trying to get the "right: one for a project. Maybe this will be it??? Love the damask too. Looking forward to the "before and after."

When I first came to NY - I lived at the Webster House - a boarding home for women....and my room was that color. I felt like I was living in the bottom of a pool....if only I had you to tell me it was so hip....at the time I pined for white walls.

I just recently discovered your inspiring blog, and I'm a huge fan! Thanks for all the inspirations! I recently added striped pillows into my living room, and I love the ones in the above photo! Brilliant!

That's an insane price for this beautiful paper. Can't wait to see how you use it!!
I LOVE F&B paint colors, though I don't have a F&B budget. My solution: order a free F&B swatch card and have my local home improvement store color match it for me. True, you don't get the high quality pigments and ingredients that give F&B its depth but you do still get the fab color.
I love that color!
