Forgive the mix up on the days in yesterday’s post. Thought it was Wednesday when it was Thursday, today feels like Monday when it’s actually Friday don’t know where I am. Barely slept Mungy’s and Maud decided to horizontally sleep across the bed on their backs with legs in the air and every time I moved an inch, Maud growled, extremely loudly! So sweet they looked I didn’t have the heart to move them so I am suffering today with lack of sleep. One thousand coffees’ are in order as it’s a long one.
Enough about my domestic problems lets talk wallpaper. Wallpaper I find is one of the hardest things to get right, there are thousands of papers out there on the market and yet I love less than a handful. AND yet they transform a space way more than paint ever can as they bring a totally new dimension to the table. As you all probably know my all time favourite wallpaper is by Deborah Bowness, and we are incredibly privileged to sell it and stock it in our store. Her Genuine Fake books totally and utterly have transformed every space I have worked on from mine below to one of the re-designs I did for Get Your House in Order, Channel 4 to Heston Blumenthal’s kitchen in How To Cook Like Heston, also Channel 4. Told you I was a fan!
So imagine how excited I am to tell you about a new paper Deb has created very much along the same lines which I am papering our new Design School in. Its perfect for the schoolroom as it will cosy it up big time and work beautifully with a very large vintage Moroccan rug I have just acquired.
Ta Da – New Antique Books
Not only do these papers pack a great visual punch they add instant personality. If you’re struggling with art walls, or if you fancy an instant whimsical vibe, then wallpaper away. All those fears about how scary it is to hang are mumbo jumbo seriously. Pasting table, paste, big brush and a cloth to whizz over once up and wham bam you’ve changed in a wall in little more than an hour or two.
Have a lovely weekend, for us its decorating, decorating, decorating. 2 weeks today until the first classes start and there is alot to do!
Love that paper! You know when someone creates something amazing when other companies try to replicate it. No one has come close to deborah bowness though!
Can’t believe what you had to work with on last nights programme, but you rocked yet again! Loved his blue angle poise in the bed room. Well done!
I agree totally x
sorry, unrelated to your post, but saw this artist’s work and thought of your shop! http://www.donyacoward.co.uk/
Totally cool stuff x
I am not really into wallpapers but when I saw this took my breath away. Well, I really love books yet dont have the space for it. This is really cool that I could mess the head of my husband thinking I made a bookshelf. This is also the first Ive heard of Deborah Bowness, maybe Ill try her work. Thanks for this.
