Gracie Wallpaper

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">One way to make a room truly special is to cover the walls with Gracie’s hand-painted wallpaper. <a href="http://www.graciestudio.com/" target="_blank">Gracie</a> is a family-run business that Charles R. Gracie founded in New York City in 1898. Gracie originally created custom lamps, but started selling Asian antiques in the 1920s and 1930s. The company began offering hand-painted wallpapers after one of Charles Gracie's friends, who was a textile trader, brought some back from Beijing. The company is best known for these beautiful wallpapers, which are still hand painted in China by a studio that has been managed by the same Chinese family for the past fifty years. For homeowners who don't want to paper an entire wall, a framed panel or two of the hand-painted wallpaper can add a touch of Gracie to any room. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb6SNoA3EqUxbTaSdUhKqeMrsUfoaii_S3hANMIY50PveIKF9ZaSD73lCnZEKf4oC5fLiXGoMVn59SggcXSBpk5X-lUGOT9QUcfmk25-gxd09ui_vyn2-MUNf66DgQVPZ5ZyNhbZZ3mjg/s1600/item3.rendition.slideshowWideVertical.michael-smith-09-dining-room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb6SNoA3EqUxbTaSdUhKqeMrsUfoaii_S3hANMIY50PveIKF9ZaSD73lCnZEKf4oC5fLiXGoMVn59SggcXSBpk5X-lUGOT9QUcfmk25-gxd09ui_vyn2-MUNf66DgQVPZ5ZyNhbZZ3mjg/s640/item3.rendition.slideshowWideVertical.michael-smith-09-dining-room.jpg" width="492" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<a href="http://www.graciestudio.com/">Gracie</a> restored the [dining] room's antique wallpaper, which once belonged to publisher Conde Nast; its design motif was hand-painted on the window shades."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">New York City penthouse of decorator <a href="http://www.michaelsmithinc.com/">Michael S.
