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........
