I'm spending a few days at home in New Mexico. There's nothing like fall in the Southwest! Just thought I'd share a few happy moments from my trip.
I think the wide autumn skies make the colors of things just a little more intense.
Hot chilis!
I'm not sure how long this beer has been around, but it is new to me. Could a beer can possibly be happier? I'll be test tasting it tonight!
Guess what I did this weekend?
You can't? :) Well, I helped my friend Rachel at Eden & Eden put up our beautiful Forest Leaves wallpaper in her lovely shop in Jackson Square! My favorite shop deserves my favorite wallpaper after all... Above is the before. A striking red, but still...it was time for a change!
First strip up. That's always the toughest, and it was actually pretty easy. Should be smooth sailing ahead. right? Mostly...
Making progress...
Working around the corner. There are different schools of thought on how best to wallpaper around a corner. My thought was to do it as fast as possible. Perfection is overrated ;)
We ended the wallpaper where it met the gray paint Rachel had "dip dyed" earlier. So, being more creative, she stepped back in to figure out the best way make the edges match. This involved distressing the edge of the paper with matches and sand paper while I go to find a sandwich :)
Fast forward to today when I stopped back in. Doesn't it look fabulous?!?!
Here's a picture of three of my favorite things. I have both the wallpaper and the small lamp in my apt, and since seeing that equally awesome bag, I've been brainstorming to come up with a reason that I deserve to own it... [Technical side note, in an ideal world, it would have been better to paint the floor board prior to wallpapering, just FYI...]
Here's where distressed meets dip dyed... Pretty cool, no?
Does this close-up of gorgeousness overwhelm you? Me too.
See you later!
One of our customers was sweet enough to send us images of her daughter's beautiful bedroom featuring our (now discontinued) gray Daydream wallpaper.
So pretty!
And so fun to get a video of Tamara - what a cutie! Sounds like she loves it - so do we!
We were so excited to bump into our Daydream Wallpaper in the new Design*Sponge Book!
It was in the lovely home of Dooce!
Julia Rothman illustrated the book, so it made me smile to see this illustration of our old Treet wallpaper pattern!
We were so happy to be featured among a handful of fabulous companies in the wallpaper resources section as well. Thank you, Grace!
Check our our new home page! We've been making lots of changes and adding some new things. Like...
New colorways by Oh Joy!
Don't you just love this one? :)
We also added this lovely new Bows pattern by Emily Marie Cox.
So pretty, if we do say so ourselves!
We also added this new section where we'll be selling wallpaper by the yard. Like I was saying...check it out. And, thanks Ola and Dan for all your help!
I went to brunch with friends on Sunday and this caught my eye while we ate. I love that someone took the time to make this little work of art and then share it with the world on a light post.
In an effort to make the contents of our built in linen closet less public, I did this little wallpapered cabinet door project - you can read about it in our Wallpaper it Yourself blog over at Hygge Cooperative.
