Wallpaper of Yore

One of my favorite things about renovating an old house is uncovering all of the treasures of the past. Old newspapers, a medicine tin, a long-lost mother of pearl button, a check to pay a $7 telephone bill, a cache of hockey trading cards, are all fingerprints left behind. I discovered this wallpaper while demolishing the stairwell and removing some baseboard trim. It is original to the house, and owners were very fond of these colors. Variations of this wallpaper are throughout the house. I hope to incorporate these traditional Victorian colors when we get to the painting stage as my little homage.
