Wallpaper Wednesday!

As I was sitting at the office contemplating my post for this weeks Wallpaper Wednesday I was drawing a blank.  I gathered my laptop and inspiration book and ventured out from my office and relocated to the long work table in our studio and had the pleasure to sit along side the talented Caitlin from Caitlin Creer Interiors.  As we were chatting I asked her if she had found any amazing/interesting/whimsical wallpaper lines lately and oh boy did she deliver.

So this installment will be the quirky animal prints and designs that I stumbled upon on Abnormals Anonymous and Beware the Moon websites.  My gears are turning with the endless possibilities of these papers.



Calming colors and simplistic Ostrich design.
Would love to put this in a boys room.

Wild jungle animal romp!


Little boy's nursery for sure!!!!!


Ok so this colorway takes the cake.....I want to pair this with a tangerine chevron pattern fabric and stripes galore!  Oh fun day.....



Til next week.......

Wallpaper Wednesday!

Wallpaper Wednesdays have certainly been MIA lately however, 'tis the season for wonderful crazy busyness!  Hopefully you will be as enamored with this paper as I am.  I recently ran across a fabric line that I have used in the past but has seemed to take a back seat for a while and while I was perusing through their website I ran across their wallpaper collection.  I had no idea..... they carry wallpaper that coordinates with the fabric patterns, which I adore by the way.

Their is something vintage, eclectic and almost "Moorish" feeling about their papers, which is what I am craving these days, and I just can't get enough.


 Nothing is crisper and cleaner than a black & white powder room......


Black & white everywhere - with a killer striped sofa!!!!

Here goes with color and pattern.
Why not add layer upon layer, create something unique and different and DON'T be afraid.

How cool is this room? 

 Quadrille has not disappointed.  
I hope that you enjoy their patterns as much as I do.

Til next week.......

Wallpaper Wednesday!

The weather has turned and so has my desire to stay indoors, light a fire and cozy up with a good book accompanied with any type of food item made with pumpkin and of course a cup of hot chocolate (wishful thinking on my part).  With the changing of the seasons and the brisk air of fall we shift our efforts indoors and hopefully try to create a warm inviting "nesting" place for the upcoming winter blitz.

I of course shift from my typical contemporary roots and likes and transition into a more cozy, comfortable, relaxing atmosphere.  I instinctively gravitate towards the original look of none other than Ralph Lauren.  Ralph's Alpine Loft collection of warm whites and creams are exactly what I would love to use to create my cozy atmosphere.  However we have to be realistic with little ones running around.  I would have to alter the look and create something a little more "kid" friendly, but still this is a home run in my book.

This is my inspiration for this weeks installment of Wallpaper Wednesday!
There is something inviting about cozy thick blankets in
varying shades of neutral.
Loves!

Natural Textures and Patterns are such a hit.



 Til next week!

Wallpaper Wednesday!



I am so loving this new trend of the "faux wood panel" wallpaper.  Yes it has come a long way since I was young.  Growing up my sisters and I shared a bedroom and had the pleasure of waking up each morning to the printed wood plank paneling staring us in the face.  Not.  Still you can find this 70's style gracing many a wall in the older homes throughout the city.  Usually disguising the walls in the dingy, smelly, damp basements of these homes.  I know it must have been a quick fix but really..... Ugh!

Here are some of my new favorites from Andrew Martin.  I just love how they paired this seemingly rustic look with updated furniture and antique furnishings.



 Does this not look like the real deal?



This one is completely different and would be dynamite in a cabin!





Maybe in my next project........

Wallpaper Wednesday!

Sitting down today to my computer rummaging through my inbox and I came across an email from Serena & Lily.  They have a new collection of wallpaper and oh boy does it deliver.  Here are a few of my fav's......

 This combo never gets old

 So cool for a contemporary boy's bedroom

 Sweet cherries......


I never get tired of a good stripe - so dramatic and timeless.

'Til next week!

Wallpaper Wednesday!

Have you ever thought about mosaic tile's for wallpaper.  Why not?  Let's make a huge statement and focal point with tile.  New Ravenna has exactly what you need in helping you to create something new and unique. 

Whether it is something as refined and monocromatic as these.....






 Or as dramatic and bold as these options, let's give it a try.




Til next week!

Wallpaper Wednesday!

Anytime I receive something in the mail that is labeled "BLACK Edition" my senses shift into high gear.  What can this be?  What am I receiving?  I am in for a treat.  These simple words can transform and shift any ordinary item or product into a different category.  A category that is perceived as the "upper echelon".  One that is sought after by many and only afforded by some. There is some type of mystery and intrigue that is associated with anything that is labeled "Black".  Take for instance the ever elusive Black American Express Card, Ralph Lauren Black Label, Mercedes AMG Black Series, 911 Black Edition, Black tie events and the list trails on and on........ 

Well The Romo Group has done just that.  
They have created an exquisite new collection labeled simply Black Edition.  




They had me at BLACK.........

Wallpaper Wednesday!

I am on the hunt for the perfect wallpaper for a commercial project that I am working on and WOW my eyes have been opened.  Typically you think of commercial paper as "institutional" or something boring that you would see in a hospital or clinic.  Well not these wallpapers.

 Snake skin vinyl....

 Geometric square vinyl....





So vast in colors and patterns.  Do we go with the more traditional patterns and play it safe?  Should I go with a bold pattern with a safe color?  Or maybe even both.  Who knows......

Wallpaper Wednesday!

Where oh where have you been?

Well here I am back at it again, sorry for the lack of posts these last few weeks.  July is such a hectic crazy month but one that I just love.  All of the holiday fun, family and friend gatherings, BBQ's, rodeo's, parades.....so much fun to be had.

I am infatuated with this next wallpaper.  Who would have thought glass beaded wallpaper could/would be so stunning.  Obviously the designers over at Maya Romanoff.  Their collection of Beadazzled flexible glass bead wallcoverings are jaw dropping amazing! What's not to love.

Enjoy!
