Wallpaper Wednesday!

I am head over heels for this next installment of Wallpaper Wednesday.

The first time that I was introduced to the Katie Ridder boutique line I squealed with excitement.  Her designs are simple yet stunning.  Charming yet whimsical.  And don't forget the unmistakeable craftsmanship and love that has gone into the designs in creating and producing such beautiful products.  Her boutique line of wallpapers and fabrics have carved out a unique and stylish niche within the design community.

The walls in this little girls nursery turned out FAB!  

So thrilled with the Oiseau wallpaper in lime green.  

The whimsical nature of this wallpaper added a touch of sweetness and 

unexpectedness to this small ones room.

with all that she has to offer.

Wallpaper Wedensday!

Hopeful that our new found warmer spring weather is here to stay, I find myself addicted to adding splashes of color here and there.  Wallpaper, if done appropriately, can outlive any design fad.  That is why I think this wallpaper is just what I need.  F. Schumacher teamed up with  Kelly Wearstler and have completely nailed, in my opinion, the design of Imperial Trellis.  The boundaries between traditional, eclectic and contemporary are blurred with this rendition of a classic trellis patten that can go anywhere and can blend with anything.  Not to mention the insane colorways that are available.  Whether it be a bold color, subdued color or even a graphic color this pattern does not disappoint!

Which color combination would you choose?  Oh and did I mention that this paper also comes in a coordinating fabric.......Oh the possibilities!

'Til next week!

Wallpaper Wednesday!

Oooops didn't quite make it in time but nonetheless here are my picks......

Today I had the pleasure of walking through a project with one of my dear design associates who has been hard at work creating, designing and fulfilling one of the most breathtaking estates that I have ever had the pleasure to step foot in. To say that this house/estate is amazing is an understatement.  Words can not describe the detail and love that has gone into renovating, restoring, rejuvenating and adding to this glorious estate.  This home is an original English Tudor Craftsman (William Morris style more than Frank Lloyd Wright Craftsman) and the details that are emerging are magnificent.  So you are wondering what does this have to do with Wallpaper Wednesday, well here goes.   

This home will be adorned with many of the Original William Morris hand blocked wallpaper designs that are dated back to 1873 - 1890.  These papers are undeniably works of art.  Based on nature, most of the papers use a plant or flower motif.  The reproductions are created using the long lost carved pear-wood blocks that were used over 100 years ago, of course this type of loving craftsmanship of the paper comes at an expense.  I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the selected papers in person.  They will be stunning, mark my words.  

So in the mean time enjoy this small sampling of some of the offered papers.

Wallpaper Wednesday!

So here we are again for another installment of Wallpaper Wednesday.  

Over the past year I have been completely obsessed with this 

next wallpaper.  I am not typically a lover of bird motifs on fabrics and 

wallpapers however the subtle and simple contemporary 

design of this bird duo is dynamite.  I just imagine this lovely pair of birds whispering sweet nothings to each other.  Corny right, but so sweet.  

The offered color ways and color combinations make me go weak in the knees.  And that is why I love using it!  This pattern is so versatile and usable in a number of different interior settings.  The possibilities are endless.  Whether it be traditional, eclectic, transitional and please do not leave out the contemporary space, this wallpaper is FAB!

I apologize for the next couple "phone" pictures but you can just see how fun and whimsical this paper can be.  For this mud room I accessorized the walls with this Mirabel paper in Soft Red.  So lively and fun, wouldn't you want to walk into your home and see this fun print awaiting you? 

Another great feature is that this particular wallpaper comes in a coordinating fabric.  And yes I have used the fabric as well.  Look close and you will see that the sofa pillow fabric is this same amazing pattern.  These sofa pillows were lucky enough to get their fare share of great design, they were created using the Mirabel - Wasabi color way.  This pattern is so easy to work with....ah the possibilities!
