First, let me say how much I absolutely love the bird gallery wall going up the stairs. The mural with the curtains looks so pretty, and the bookcase and vignette was staged so beautifully. Great job, Sherry, on this makeover. I want a mural now.

I would use sheers on the windows. The velvet may be a bit to heavy although they are very nice.

Sherry, the mural is gorgeous! I love the velvet drapes with it, but also thought the mural looked great on its own too. Maybe in the spring/summer seasons you could replace them with sheers for an airier look. At any rate, you’ve once again inspired me with your top-notch taste and talent!

Absolutely stunning. I can't believe how much the mural elevates the space. And the bookcase and cloches are the perfect accompaniment! Beautiful, Sherry!

WOW.........what a transformation!!!!! That wall mural is gorgeous!!!!

Can't even express how beautiful it is! It was so soft and pretty to start... but talk about taking it up a notch! Love it!

Sherry, both your decorating skills and your design skills leave me in awe. This hallway is phenomenal!! I do love the curtains back up with the mural behind them. Thank you for sharing your genius with us.

Love absolutely the mural. (And the rest of course.)🙂

A very comfortable, cozy, esthetic. The mural is very very handsome.

I loooove the bird gallery and then leading up to the hallway which gives such a wonderful outdoorsy mural feel. Could sit in the hallway and just feel like you are outdoors.

Opt for internal window roll up blinds. Gives you privacy at night but an unobstructed window during the day.

💕Sherry, you’ve done it again!!!! 🦅🕊🦉I love the framed bird wall you already have. The mural is a perfect transition from the bird wall. You really have the touch when it comes to accessorizing. In your videos you most always mention getting something from your stash to complete an area…. 👀Would you ever consider showing your stash and how you organize it in order to know what you have. Thank you for sharing all your tips and tricks with us💕

Holy smokes that hall is now Personality Plus!!! You are so brave to tackle that wallpapering job! The hall came out splendidly! WOW!!!!!!!

Okay, you have MAD skills to take on peel and stick wall paper without a helper! It’s such a fiddly product, I applaud your determination. It looks great!

I love your interpretation of dark academia decor style. Your mural is a beautiful and fitting addition to your bird/ natural science theme. I first thought the drapes would not be needed but when I saw them hung I knew you had made the right call. They add so much warmth and texture. You are amazing with such vision. Thank you for sharing your creativity with your Canterbury Cottage family! ❤

Oh my word Miss Sherry this is so beautiful ❤❤❤ I desperately would love to duplicate this! I am glad you showed what it really looks like to hang that kind of wallpaper… You have the patience of a saint! I might have to think of an alternative to that wallpaper because honestly I don’t think I could do it but I’m I’m love with what you created ❤❤❤

The mural is so classy and gives your hallway a very peaceful atmosphere ❤❤❤.

Oh Sherry what a stunning hallway!!!! The velvet curtains look great with the wallpaper! The hallway looks absolutely stunning with the wallpaper. I say Sherry this is my favorite video of all time,!!!!!

I love it! I did the same thing with a map of the world in my husband’s office. For the little doors, you could use the wallpaper cut outs and add trim to the bottom of the doors to match the original trim. I also want to add that I love the gallery wall of bird prints too. I agree the light gray walls need to go. Great job!

I love love the gallery bird wall. Would hate to see it go. The mural is beautiful and perfect for that space . With the birds and mural it just all flows into place. Just gorgeous.

Really brought the hall from ho hum to designer status. Everything the bird pictures, all the 'academic natural' items including the drapes finished the look. Very polished.

Geez...Just stop it! Stop being so darn creative, inventive, resilient, hardworking, original, encouraging, knowledgeable and about a dozen other attributes. Once again you knocked it out of the park. Being so talented must be exhausting! 🥰 Deb

It looks great - warm and evocative. What makes the bird collage spectacular is how well you hung the art on the wall.

Fabulous! I love your nature aesthetic combined with the 'Dark Academia' vibe. The mural and rug go so well together, and I think the gold velvet drapes soften the look. My only criticism would be the missing bindings on the books on the shelves of the bookcase. The science books on the top shelf look so good with the cloches, and it's jarring to me to see the other books turned around or raggedy-looking. I've seen decorators stage homes like that, and their use of books for props has always bugged me. You do have The Eye, Sherry. Well done!

The landing hallway looks beautiful, I love it. I appreciate you showing the vision you have for it then showing us what didn't work and why. The small bookcase is perfect, as you say and your styling is spot on. I love it all.

No curtains! Love it just the way it is. Also, your stairwell is gorgeous! Love all the bird pictures!

I love the bird wall, but I love the hallway even more!!! Beautiful!

Wow, this is beautiful Sherry. I love that kind of vintage etching or painting mural. Your re-styling is great too.

It’s really so cute! Very dignified, rich but feels down to earth and homey. Love it!

The wallpaper is beautiful. The bookcase and the vignettes you created are very unique. The hallway looks very cohesive.

Oh my goodness Sherry, you are fearless! I love the idea of mural wallpaper but the thought of hanging it terrifies me. The hall is gorgeous and the stairway gallery is perfect.

You've done an amazing job with the transformation. I'd never be so brave as to tackle any wallpaper. I have to say, I think the room seems lighter without the curtains as well as more lavish with them. (both great looks) The space is lovely.

Seeing the framed gallery as you go upstairs and then the magnificent mural, the way the light comes through, well, the entire area gave me a sensation of the movie Pride and Prejudice, and I couldn’t love it more. How talented you are!

Good evening Sherry! Love, love, love the gallery wall of birds! The mural wall is gorgeous! It has a French country vibe and the brown painted bookcase styling brings all together! 💕

I, too, love the bird gallery wall!! The new hallway is beautiful!! Great job!

I adore Dark Academia! The hallway transformation is incredible and I also love the gallery wall going up the stairs. You have done it again!!

You have the patience of a saint! The hallway turned out beautifully! I love your bird pic display!

I love your bird gallery! Please never change it!! And your wallpaper is beautiful. Such a wonderful idea!

Well, I adore everything, from the stairs, the bird gallery wall, and the wallpaper. I was going to say no way to putting the velvet drapes back up. However, it looks just beautiful and doesn’t detract from the mural. Bravo!

Great job. No drapes. The mural is too beautiful to hide.

I love it, the perfect mural for the space in keeping with the wood land thyme. Your idea of putting the bird art inside the glass dome is wonderful. My daughter has created a number of small bird water colours for me and this will show them off perfectly. So a hunting I must go....

AHhh... the days of hanging wallpaper. I had quite a bit in an Queen Anne home I owned years ago and there is something so satisfying about wallpaper hanging!!! Getting it straight, cutting out windows and decorative built-ins, smoothing it out and the finished look-- I got so I could nearly hang wallpaper in my sleep! Beautiful result, Sherry. You never, ever disappoint!

Sherry, you turned a so so hallway into a room that you want to spend time in exploring all of its intriguing items. I feels like a space where you would curl up with a good book and a cup of tea & spend the afternoon on a cold afternoon.

I love how it turned out. Thank you for the inspiration! If the rest of the walls were painted a darker color they would add to the dark academia and moodiness of the look!

Beautiful !!! I love it and glad you hung the curtains...the decor on the bookcase is perfect ! Great job Sherry ! 😺

Wow Sherry, the papered wall turned out beautiful. I couldn’t take my eyes off of you collection of vintage bird prints also. Thanks for sharing your creativity🌿

Oh Sherry I adore the bird display in the stairway!! It is breathtakingly beautiful! The addition of the mural was pure genius!

I questioned your rehanging those drapes, but it softens the space and of course you made the right decision!💕

Sherry I love this, may I make a suggestion regarding the little doors? Hang a rustic painting in each one. Or add the same wallpaper and then glue on a painted baseboard scrap at the same height as your other baseboards. Or even make them look like little bookshelves by adding sawed off spines of old books on stained wood strips to look like the bottom edges of shelves. They just look a little bare to me.
