my husband and i just bought a crooked home built in the 1830′s. We love it and are re-modeling it ourselves. I love design and coming up with cheap and savvy solutions for unique spaces but my bathroom has me stumped. The wall above the sink is extremely sloped. To wash your face you have to be careful not to bump your head. I was wondering if wallpapering such a sloped wall would look odd? Or, are there any ideas you could give me for extremely sloped ceilings, above bathroom sinks? The space is tiny and i was originally thinking of chinoiserie wallpaper in red tones. Any ideas or feedback?
Cheers – Jen

I am a graphic designer who is looking at gradually starting my own online stationery company. I plan to just design only. The pieces will be printed on letterpress and offset using a print vendor. I would love if you could get someone on here to discuss this. It would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

I’d say a top choice would be Wary Meyers. I love the stuff they’re doing for Time Out New York.
Also Eley Kishimoto. Although they may be too ‘big’ for your concept.
Good idea though!

Dear Patrick M, I’m not offended by my industry, if anything, I am proud of it!!! I’ve been in the field 30 years. And I see us as a separate field. Why do people like you see only the negative!

This is going to be exciting! But I’m drawing a blank at the moment as far as designers. Tricia Guild always pops into my head first.

I have a question….What font did you use for “ASK A DESIGNER”? I love it.
