That's beautiful...but I cannot imagine the major headache of trying to hang it!

What a great idea. Reminds me of wallpaper murals, which I just blogged at Living Small. Of course, when the paper's on the up-and-up, you don't always have to see it. A great trick.

it would be great if the flowers were stickers and you could just stick them around the ceiling. Hanging wall paper is HARD. I cannot imagine doing it on the ceiling. think I'm going to get some decals from Blik and do m bathroom as well. The bathroom is a good place to experiment.

Wow what an inspiration! Very dramatic. I imagine you'd need to be like Michelangelo to hang wallpaper on the ceiling straight ^_^

...lovely

but I think it needs to be better integrated with the walls -- it looks a little odd to just have something on the ceiling that does not relate to the walls - perhaps a few of the leaves and vines could curl around the top of the walls

Our 1934 colonial had wallpaper on the ceiling in the living room and in two of the bedrooms. All had been painted over years ago, but even our painters said they had only ever seen one house with ceiling wallpaper before! I imagine it is very difficult to hang it well. Fortunately it was so old a lot of it just came off in sheets.

In Baltimore, papering ceilings is quite common in the old rowhomes...and the lady that just hung some wallpaper for me said that nearly half of her normal workload is papering ceilings.

love it - that is a great idea! it might be tough to hang, but better than hanging upside down, sistine chapel style, to paint something!

Love it!!! Has anyone been able to figure out where to buy the ceiling paper? Her website is tough to navigate.
