i’m a wallpaper girl. always have been, always will be. i know that less is more, but sometimes a big bold pattern is just the ticket. these new patterns from turner pocock are right up my alley- cheerful, colorful and with just the right amount of animal charm thrown in. you can choose from nine…
i’m a big cavern home fan (and a fan of cavern founder carly margolis’ home) so i was excited to hear from cavern’s director of design and operations, stephen haskell, about their new artist editions wallpapers. working with artists like tom slaughter, david stark (a neurologist, not the event plannerr), miky fabrega, julia zeigler-haynes, and…
good morning! i’m still reeling from last night’s laughs and the idea that next week amy and i will get to ask martha stewart a few questions in person (click here to suggest questions!) so i thought i’d start off with a little thursday morning eye candy from one of my favorite artists, amy ruppel….
when it comes to paint, farrow & ball can do no wrong in my book. i’ve never seen a color of theirs that didn’t turn out beautifully on a wall (in any light) so i was excited to hear about their latest “chelsea papers” collection of wallpapers. inspired by 19th century silk woven jacquards, the…
in a sea of animal-themed products, it’s nice to see a relatively new motif pop up. and if it happens to be one of my favorite types of plants, all the better! this great new collection of posters, wallpaper, pillowcases and tea towels from makelike in portland is all based around a cactus theme. i…
i’m really enjoying shanan from eskayel‘s newest collection of wallpapers, “the island collection.” inspired by shanan’s travels to indonesia and iceland, the island collection is a digital representation of the landscapes, colors and wildlife that she saw on her trips. i especially love the polar bear pattern below- i find it pretty impossible to resist…
oh boy, the book rush has set in and my brain is officially starting to melt. so my apologies if my posts are a bit on the short or slightly incoherent side for the next week and a half. before we get into diy projects, i wanted to kick things off with this lovely new…
today’s first of 3 diy projects comes from susan of doggie eyes. she created this incredible “wallpaper” using images she printed from the web and a little spray starch to attach them to a wall in a decorative pattern. the “x” shape she chose looks so much like a regular wallpaper roll from a far…
when it comes to wall murals, i’m usually a “no, thank you” kinda girl. for some reason they conjure up images of poorly drawn disney characters in children’s rooms and folk art country scenes in my grandma’s house. but when i saw this metallic wall mural from apc at tonky design i was sold. this…
my parents are rolling into town today for a little bonney family time so i’m heading out now to meet them in the city. but before i go i wanted to share some beautiful new wallpapers from elli pop- and remind you to tune in on monday for a very special post at 1pm! i’m…
lately i’ve been rather obsessed with historic wallpaper patterns, mainly because of d*s editor amy merrick‘s excellent list of resources for them. one of the companies i’ve been drooling over most is adelphi paper hangings, and their beautiful selection of grey and pink patterns. i quite literally cannot resist the combination of grey and pink…
yesterday i finally finished my new upholstered headboard (the diy video will be up at 1pm today!) and now the makeover momentum is carrying over to my dark living room. i feel the need to lighten everything up and have my eyes on this wallpaper from anthropologie. i have a little outcropping on one side…
marimekko is one of those brands that seems to be universally loved across the globe. it’s hard not to love their bold colors and cheerful patterns, so i was thrilled to hear from maria at new wall in canada about their new line of marimekko wallcoverings. launching at the end of this month at IIDEX…
good morning! after a weekend in the catskills i’m rested and ready to work- we have a great series of sneak peeks and posts lined up for today, but before we get started i wanted to share these beautiful new wallpaper designs from jocelyn warner. blossom, cascade and fern (each available in 5 colorways) are…

good morning! after yesterdays monster biz ladies posts my fingers are just about kaput. but thankfully they’ve got enough juice to get up some morning eye candy and some great diy projects today. up first is artist laura pregger from switzerland. laura’s porcelain work focuses on using second-hand designs from manufacturers like fürstenberg, and re-purposing…

when it comes to deanne cheuk, there is no way to put it other than: this. girl. rules. deanne is a ny based art director, illustrator and artist (originally from perth, australia) that has consistently blown my mind with her work since 2004, when she was one of the first people i wrote about on…
i first saw trove‘s nature-inspired work at the 2006 icff and was instantly smitten with their colorful, but sophisticated, wallpapers. so i wasn’t surprised to find that i also love their latest collection of window films and wood veneer. trove’s new window film is a self-adhesive design that comes in three different textures, for varying…
nothing in design tugs at my heart strings quite like great print or pattern design- whether it comes in the form of a beautiful fabric, or a beautiful roll of wallpaper. and this morning, it’s the latter- courtesy of swedish designer lena hautoniemi. like many swedish designers, lena finds her inspiration in the woods and…
