These are nice choices. I personally have been coveting the thistle wallpaper. Have you looked at Elitis wallpaper? Their textures are amazing, and maybe a little more timeless. http://www.elitis.fr/en/papiers-peints/
The glass dolce vita one looks like it could be of a similar feel to what you had before (in person it looks like 1/4″ glass mosaic pieces).
I think the geometric options could overwhelm the room.

as you can see on the Pinterest page, #6 (Vapor) is kind of a matte finish over the top of gloss, black on black. very subtle but BAM when you catch the pattern in the light.

Do the Stretch only comes in mustard right now. too bad. it’s a nice pattern.

Thistle is a little too grand and maybe a bit Victorian. just loved it in black on black. i’m obviously having a moment with black on black. ;-)

well….not *all* the samples have scale on pinterest either ; )

still curious about #6. am realizing now that i look at pinterest for the 4th time and actually see the sample there this time, that the color i see in it is actually a reflection OF your wall paint color. that could work!

this http://pinterest.com/pin/259449628503650743/ is similar to your #1. i like both.

also, does this come in any other color combos that might work? this is you. http://pinterest.com/pin/259449628503049799/

i *love* the thistle but not for you. wouldn’t make sense for what i would guess the furniture and other things would look like.

I thought for sure you’d choose the Thistle!

Jen, check my Pinterest page for images that show scale. http://pinterest.com/ubettahrunhonky/remod-modern-wallwear/
Also, there are a few more choices in there. :)

scale???? we need a reference. otherwise too hard to tell what we’re looking at. for example, the geometrics might give you a headache depending on the size of the shapes…
my first instinct is the first one. black and white is very neutral to go with any wall color, but not as seizure causing as the geo stuff. it references your original nature pattern, and is simple but decorative, and has some visual ‘resting’ places – it is not too busy which may be too overwhelming when you cover a whole wall with it (is it one wall or more?).
the second one looks like a jackson pollock rip-off. not very original.
the 6th one could possibly work since the pattern is more subtle and looks like it may have gold/green that would go with the wall color, but i’d need to see it against your paint, and again want to see the scale.
lastly, and alternatively, hire josie to paint a new cavern blackbird pattern directly on the wall! $$$
