pretty patterns.

i know it's been trendy for a while, but i just can't get over my love of wallpaper -it just adds so much personality to a space. i think it all started when my mom put leopard wallpaper all over the first floor bathroom of our home when i was in middle school. for a long time i thought it was too dramatic, but now i miss it. paul and i have incorporated some wallcoverings in to our apartment, with a beautiful bird and branches wallpaper in our bedroom, and some make-shift wallpaper (made out of pages from the dangerous book for boys) in our computer nook. here are some of my current favorites.


this beautiful color would be fantastic in a small entryway.
i would love to come home to a wall covered in this every day.


the drama of this one actually really reminds me of the leopard that was in our powder room. i love this type of bold pattern in a small space.


this charming paper is so lighty and airy. it would be beautiful in a dressing room, with racks of shoes and a vintage vanity.


quite possibly the brightest and most bold wallpaper to catch my eye! wouldn't it be perfect as an accent wall for a child's bedroom or playroom?


i think this romantic and cheery floral would be perfect for a bedroom. it's so retro and sunny.

the first paper is available at anthropologie,
and the rest you can find at 2modern.
