Rob just got in touch with AT: We just had our collection of Charley Harper prints hung last night by Martin from April Sevens (custom framing). They did such an amazing job we wanted to share! We wholeheartedly agree. Aside from the fantastic prints themselves, we love them hung against the branch wallpaper - and the room in general is warm and inviting, while still fun. More images below:


Thanks, Rob!

I'm confused. Rob hired a person to go to his house and hang his pictures for him? Am I the only person who thinks this is weird? (Unless Rob is disabled in some way, in which case, of course, it's not weird at all.)
this is lovely
Looks great!
JoanneM: just clarified in the post that April Sevens is a custom framing source.
I love the furnishings in the room too - more pictures please?
Looks great - love the prints with the wallpaper. That couch is sweet - it looks like it's a mile long!
Adore the wallpaper/prints arrangement! I also love that you have a pair of narrow, tall lamps on either side of the sofa - works well with the wallpaper.
Goodness- what is that wallpaper?? It is amazing? Can I please have the source?
Yes, please, what they said - who makes the wallpaper (it is great)? I'd like some with sage-colored trees.
I'd pay someone to put up that arrangement in my house. A professional would be less likely to put a few dozen unwelcome holes in my pretty new wallpaper....
I love this room. The Harper prints are the icing on the cake to what looks to be an already fabulous arrangement.
I love the Charlie Harper prints against that wall paper. Fabulous.
That looks great! I hope AT is bribing them for a full house tour.
LOVE Charley Harper! This is a great looking room -especially the art/wallpaper combo.
jennifer in sf: i'm definitely working on it! fingers crossed.
House Tour Pleeeease!
genius decor! wonderful.
Charming combination of prints and wallpaper. I take back everything I've said about being tired of bird decor and tree motifs on walls.
Thank you all, I am so happy that you like it. The trees on the wall behind the Harper Silkscreens are acutally painted on the wall. My partner Jason did it. He saw a card that had the images of those trees on it, blew it up a bit, printed it out on transparency paper and projected it on the wall with a overhead projector traced it out and then painted it. It was a bit time consuming, but overall pretty simple. I found the overhead projector at a Thrift Store for around $20.00.
The trees (and birds) look great. I like this simplified version much better than that birch wallpaper that's everywhere these days.
this is very classy. lovely
GASP!
moremoremore. love everything about this room.
Is it just me, or is that the longest couch ever?
Wow! This looks great!
I found this page through a Google search for Charlie Harper, and I'm just FLOORED by these photos. But not so much by the prints, but by THE SOFA. I realize this article is two years old, but if anyone knows where that sofa is from or what it's called or any place that sell stuff like it. Please, please let me know.
@ Jakob Westman:
re: the sofa, my first thoughts are Room and Board, but I know others have similar sofas.
Here's the link to the "Reese" sofa, the "Andre" is also similar...
