Take out the semicolon after the hexadecimal color. I think that may be your solution as it is a syntax error.

The question is now that you have given him the answer does he understand why it created a syntax error? If not, does it really help students new to CSS to learn how to debug their code?

James Barnett makes a good point and i apologize for not giving you proper guidance beforehand.

i suggest you read the info on these links to have a better understanding on what you are typing which is a single line deceleration of background properties and to re-watch the video regarding CSS carefully so you can enhance your code .

if your bg-texture has an extension of png substitute jpg for png. You put

body { 
font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; 
color: #FAF3BC; 
background: #420600; url('img/bg-texture.jpg') repeat;

}

when it should be(if it is a png extension)

body { 
font-family: 'Nunito', sans-serif; 
color: #FAF3BC;
 background: #420600; url('img/bg-texture.png') repeat;

}
