i’m a big fan of wallpaper accent walls and this dining room from rebekah at orange poppy is a great example. just a few hours of pasting and hanging and you’re left with a wall full of color and pattern. i love the new blue and green palette rebekah decided to go with- especially that blue hutch. so cute. click here to check out rebekah’s shop and here to check out her blog.

This is gorgeous and very inspiring. I have lusted after that wallpaper for a long time….
Cue painted wood freak-outs in 3…2…1…
(i think it’s great!)
this is soo pretty!
lovely! makes me want to wallpaper every room if the result is this nice.
Not a fan of wallpaper but this one looks good in this room.
I would like to see the room in the background, seems like it was redesigned too.
I’ve seen this wallpaper in several posts now – where is it from??
it’s nice to see the anthropologie wallpaper in a home application. i love the painted blue hutch. is it bad that i want the table and chairs painted now too?! oops.
great job!
orla kiely wallpaper, yes? so pretty!
I have this wallpaper over my fireplace. It’s Orla Kiely and I purchased it from anthropologie. Here’s a pic of mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eabaddeley/2848385772/in/set-72157600052023648/ (ignore the hideous TV stand in the background)
That blue hutch is fabulous! I love the couch in the other room as well- great furniture!
holy smokes, that’s a huge transformation! i loooooooove the colour pallette – great job!
Where did the before furniture go?
Gorgeous!
yes, i’m glad no one painted that antique hutch in the dining room before, and the table in the after shot…droooool. awesome!
Awesome. I love that wallpaper, I’ve seen it in Anthro too.
Er, see… this is where I think photography is a huge factor, because I think it looks crazy busy in the first After shot, but very lovely in the second.
Great transformation. I think a fantastic rug would really tie it all together too!
oh la la! Great job!
This is so cute, I can’t stand it! I really love the color of the hutch. What is the paint you used? Thanks!
Love the wallpaper and hutch… to die for!
I love the blue hutch! What color/brand is it?
Love the wallpaper and blue hutch! So pretty together!
Thanks everyone for such sweet words about our dining room! The hutch was something I scored on Craigslist last summer for really cheap and it was actually already painted that pretty tiffany blue. Sorry I don’t know the exact color used but I think it was done with milk paint to give it a professional look.
as far as the furniture in the before shot – that was a photo taken while we were inspecting the place and although we requested that the previous owners leave that gorgeous hutch with the house it was a family heirloom so it left with them…and no I would not have had the guts to paint that I think it was from the 30′s!
I’ve always loved that wallpaper. It’s nice to see it up. Looks good.
Oh I do love that mix of bright painted wood and the dark wood dining set – it’s such a lovely way to mix 2 types of “old things”
