Sandberg Raphael Wallpaper + Hehlen Castle

On Valentine's Day we went with our little son to Schloß Hehlen (Hehlen Castle), a very sweet castle built in the 1500's located about an hour away and enjoyed the most beautiful cakes in their cafe, Kaffeewirtschaft, on the castle grounds. Aidan enjoyed his babycino so much and when I took his little hand and walked him around the cafe, he was thrilled. I was too and I particularly loved the wallpaper near the fireplace, so I snapped it and posted on my IG. Within seconds, the wallpaper manufacturer identified it as the Raphael in Green by Sandberg. I didn't even tag it! That's the beauty of Instagram - you can post nearly anything and someone will identify the place, the product, even the person within mere minutes.

After visiting the Sandberg website I also found it in a few other colorways but the beige instantly resonated with me as the room it's shown in looks exactly like my living room - the large window to the right, the linen sheer curtains, even a similar pendant light! You can imagine how this reawakened my need to wallpaper a feature wall in living room! Now I'm trying to decide - will it be a Sandberg, Designers Guild or Farrow & Ball wallpaper? Hmmm.

Isn't the lovely? I particularly love it with the marble table and the pretty plants and wooden seating. Fresh and simple with a touch of rustic romance.
