Varnish Giveaway

Hola muchachos. I'm super excited to host a $50 giveaway sponsored by CSN Stores! You can shop it up at any of their 200+ online stores (my favorite is allmodern.com). They would also appreciate it if you would check out some of their LCD TV stands if you are in the market. I mean really it's the least you can you do since they are GIVING YOU FREE STUFF! Anyhow, leave a comment with your name and email and I will announce the winner next week. In the meantime- what do you guys think of this wallpaper? I've been looking for the right pattern for way too long. I want to do the headboard wall in my master bedroom.

Beautiful Hand Printed Wallcovering

Lately all anyone wants to ask me about is wallcovering! I've had 3 or 4 people just this week want to know, "where can I get some wallpaper?" My answer is always, well through me silly!
* More on what it means to buy "through the trade" later. I think these papers are so, so lovely from Greg Kinsella that I had to share them with you. These are hand printed on natural substrates like jute, grasscloth and sisal. I am partial to these types of papers because I like the mix of something natural and earthy with a precious finish. It would be fabulous in a powder room, a dining room or a dressing area. This isn't something you'll be replacing in a few years due to the cost of product and installation so choose wisely. Again another reason to hire a professional interior designer. Wink, wink!

Claire Coles Design

I stumbled across Claire Cole's work this morning and wanted to share it with you because it's just so darn sweet! She hand selects wallpapers and then embroiders them, deconstructs them and makes them into something fabulous and one-of-a-kind. I love this kind of creativity because so much of an artist goes into each and every piece. No mass production here only delicate, delicious scraps of paper that have been spun into a confectionery delight!

Wallpapered Furniture

I start to have trouble breathing, my palms are sweaty, I am woozy. Wallpaper + furniture. Please! I am only one woman.

Bryonie Porter, you win.
