From the first moment I saw them, I fell in love with the beautiful, historical wallpaper patterns designed by William Morris (the father of the English Arts & Crafts movement) over a century ago. Not to mention the fact that I'm still longing for a trusty Morris chair.
I'm not sure whether to paper an entire wall or room (say a powder room) in one of these luscious prints or if it would be too busy. Hmmm. Maybe I'll just wallpaper my computer screen or make a little framed art piece?
Aren't the patterns exquisite?! I love them!

oooh they are so colorful! I like the top one.
ReplyDeletei love them! i think my favorite is the second one; but i could see how the first and last would maybe look best on the wall. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed they are very lovely! The second is my fav. I suggest starting with a fraimed print, but this is only because I spent many cursed hours in our last house removing very bad 80's wallpaper. Let's just say it gave me an everlasting hate-on for all things glued to the wall no matter how pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. You just made me realize that my parents have just such a chair that would be quite amazing if reapolstered. Now, how to get it out here.
those are gorgeous! love them!
