Thank you! It’s been fun and challenging.🤍
Personally, I love the green (for the top third of the wall)as I consider it more of a neutral, and while moody I think it would contrast beautifully with your wood pieces and make quite a statement. However, I think you should trust your instincts as you have an amazing eye for decorating your beautiful cottage! Side note: The skills you are teaching your lovely daughters will prove invaluable one day when they own homes of their own! ☺️

I love the idea of your textured walls. For the entryway, how about 2/3 bead board and the upper 1/3 that gorgeous block print wallpaper. You can have pegs or hooks on the bead board for hanging coats and bags as you enter. I feel that would be so cottage-y 😊

Have you thought of framing the entry way walls and just doing wall paper within the frame? I would love to see trim around the ceiling, plain walls and warm wood shelves. Your house is open and airy feeling, and a lot of wallpaper would close off that entry area.

Hi Sarah, I love the block print wallpaper. You can still use green accents in the hallway because sage green and blue are a beautiful combination. I personally would do the picture frame molding on the bottom and wallpaper on the top. The hallway looks dark in your video so I feel the other paper would close it in. Whatever you choose I know it will have your unique touch in decor, wishing you many blessings lovely lady 🙏🏼🌷🌷🌷🌷

Each thing you have done within your home has emerged in loveliness!! You obviously have an eye for design of this style! I myself, prefer the pine green paper and would do just the top third or quarter of the entryway walls and I definitely love the idea of beams in there to establish itself as it's own space. Whatever you choose, I'm positive will be another lovely outcome!! You inspire me Sarah!!

Hi Sarah,love the traditional blue paper with the light background, l’m always afraid of dark papers or paint , my thought is they would absorb the light, especially in a small space. My choice would be that paper 3/4 of the wall with textured 1/4 top , bead board ceilings and beams. I know whatever you choose it will turn out lovely because that’s what you do.Your girls are the sweetest. Hugs, 🫂💜🦋

I like the idea of the wallpaper above and the ship lap on the ceiling. Your eye will immediately go up when you enter. Your entry doesn’t have much light so when you walk into your house do you want a light, bright feeling with the light wallpaper or a moody feeling with the dark. Both are beautiful but it depends on what you want the feeling to be when you come through your front door. If your budget allows I would get a farm door for the front door with 4 large window panes. Love that look! If not, maybe paint the front door front and back with an accent color you love. Your home is looking so good! Love your channel!

Love the dk green but it will really darken the entryway. If you use it consider lower 2/3 dark and top 1/3 textured
Hey Sarah, I personally think the green paper would be so dark for the space especially with the door with such a small window. It would make it feel closed in. I would choose a cohesive look for flow and continue the picture molding throughout. I think it’s a continuation of the living room with no doors to separate the space. Love your home whatever you choose it will still be beautiful. 😊

Whatever you go for in your entryway, make it light. Yours is like mine, not too much light in that area. I also only have a small window in my front door so it's always a little darker in the entry compared to my open plan living space. I just painted my walls white. It makes such a difference xx

I read some comments and a lot of people have great ideas! I am in the lighter paper on the top camp. I think it feels more cottagey and lightens up the space. Maybe down the road you could get a door with a bigger window in it. The green is beautiful but feels darker. That is not a bad thing. Moody spaces are in. You could always do both papers... the lighter one on top and the darker on the bottom. Then shiplap the ceiling. A beautiful cottage light would finish it off.

I like the darker green wallpaper idea of texture on top and paper 3/4 on bottom. That way the lighter shade helps transition into the lighter rooms and green is like a hug of hallway when you enter. Darker paper on top feels like 80's outdated border😮. Know you'll chose classy look whichever choice. Love from Texas❤

Hi Sarah. Your videos are so soothing. I like soothing.🙂 I like your 1st choice for light fixture. As it is on a chain couldn't you raise the links to a height that works for you? I do like the idea of a picture rail in the foyer. Historically I've seen wallpaper on the top and paneling/beadboard on the bottom. Or moulding. As it's a small foyer, perhaps the texture on the bottom would be best. And I might do 2/3 on the bottom and 1/3on top rather than 3/4, 1/4. Well you asked for opinions. Hope you're not overwhelmed by them.🙂

Another possibility for your entry project. Put in your picture molding and only wallpaper them. I personally like the allover green paper because you wouldn't have to center it inside the molding.

I like the pine green. If you choose to paper top third, then you should also paper the ceiling. Otherwise it would be less "choppy" to such a small space to paper all the walls, floor to ceiling. Hope you will be moving out most of the furniture to open up the entry.

Like the last one It’s very classic
For me I'd do wainscoting to chair rail height, then wallpaper, the dark green, to picture rail height, matching the height of the doors and that way the base of the walls won't get scuffed and it would help make the space look wider and taller. Have you considered fretwork instead of beams? Just thinking 3 beams would really bring the ceiling down in such a small space. However, this is your home and you do whatever makes you happy 😊 xx

Your taste is lovely, and I look forward to each video. I don’t often post, but enjoy your work just the same. I vote for the block print. It’s much more in keeping with what was in style in the time of “Sense and Sensibility”. Block prints were used in clothing, and decor. My favorite paper, however, is the blue “Bachelor Buttons” flowers with the taupe background. Don’t know how authentic that would be, and I do get your concern about it tending to pink and purple. How fun to be recreating another area!

I actually would use both in some of your areas. I actually done wallpaper on the top and texture on the bottom because it is a smaller area. Didn't want it to appear too dark.

I think that the wall paper should be on the top that way it doesn't get damaged with the traffic going in and out. Also you could always paint the inside of the door to match better with the new entry till you can buy a new door.

I love your sense of design and you often surprise me with your choices and I’m even more surprised with how well they turn out. At this point I your decorating your home, tho, I fear that all the picture molding and switches in texture may be becoming a bit busy. I always feel that there should be a place for the eye to rest. A place where there is a void, it will then place one’s focus on the beauty you’ve created and allow it to stand alone w/o more to confuse the eye.

Good evening Sarah ☕ To me, the Afton is cute & current, your family approves but, it is missing your beloved green. The Peony is elegant & timeless but, predominantly dark green. As you truly love green, would you try one more time for a new paper which contains the design your family & you'll like + your green? Also, paper within molding is very Sense & Sensibility. It could provide a pleasing balance of the paper color saturation & the light texture of walls. Count it all joy🎉Cheers

I like the pine green it's more colorful it's a little dark but if you have part of the wall white it won't matter.🌳🌳🌳
In the entry, if you are putting in a beam(s) on the ceiling I would skip the shiplap and hand te ture the ceiling for that old world cottage feel. If you put in trim and paper above, the green paper would be eye-catching and would allow for some pegs in/under the trim for hats, dried flowers, an antique apron...
I love the all over floral paper without all those others projects. Maybe picture molding at best. All those beams, shiplap, etc. will be way to busy and dark (weight). Less is more and much more sophisticated cottage like. Wallpaper all the way to the floor for a full dramatic look. A chop off look will spoil your design. 😊
