Period Wallpaper in Tower Grove House / Missouri Botanical Garden

Authentic furniture, and reproduction wallpaper reflecting the styles and tastes of the time.

This is a William Morris design , and reflects the Arts & Crafts and Art Nouveau design movement.

I believe this is also William Morris .

In the study , similar to the William Morris Willow Bough .
These wallpapers were probably made by the Morris & Co. brand. Their patterns are very popular right now.
If you go shopping, be sure to look for the non-woven or paste the wall material , not the historic British pulp paper.
This is the home of Henry Shaw , botanist. It was built in 1849 , with additions and changes over the years.

Anaglypta Textured Paintable Wallpaper in a Hall Bath

This week, I am working in a new home in the Oak Forest neighborhood of Houston. The homeowners have a lot of antique furniture, and much of the house is designed to reflect their taste.

In the upstairs bath, I hung this textured wallpaper, which is reminiscent of the pressed-tin tiles that were used on walls an ceilings a century ago. It is designed to be painted, and then that is followed with a thin glaze, which is wiped on and then wiped off, leaving a little in the recessed areas, which accentuates the texture in the pattern. It’s a really cool look, and much more affordable than the real pressed tin.

The homeowner chose the Anaglypta brand, which is pretty much the grandfather of textured, reproduction wallpapers. Other companies make similar products.
