My parents house is decorated in Early American style, that includes lots of wall paper, this is in there entry way, I used to hate it when I was a kid, now I kind of like it, its homey and comforting. It is apparently based on a genuine early American wall paper pattern in Boston, or so my mom told me. The same blues, rusts, and gold are repeated throughout the design I counted only 5 colors in the paper but the change in size of the color fields make it appear to be far more colorful than it is.
