Crazy Wallpaper... Monday

Sorry for the sparse posts last week -- the holidaze are finally catching up to me. Well, that and the 24/7 Elmo addiction that has ravaged our household, leaving me no choice but to quarantine myself under the covers. Speaking of kids (what a tragic transition), I'm a little obsessed with this wallpaper in Alice Instone's daughter's room:

It's Cole and Son's Flamingo, and I wouldn't have given it a second glance if not for this image. The scale is super magic, and I love the hot pop of red. So cute for a styling baby girl... or for a styling grown up lady.

Ok, it's really really really important that you tune in tomorrow for the most amazing reader home tour. It's going to blow your mind up and reassemble it into a vision of reclaimed oak and hot pink upholstery. It's that good.

Until tomorrow!

Crazy Wallpaper Friday

This one's not really a big deal. Oh it's just an evil monkey on acid. And a masked man cradling a cudgel like nobody's business.

Let's unpack this nightmare.

Eyes Wide Shut scary harlequin man is obviously sidling up to tweety with malevolent designs in mind. Hello? That's not a flute. Flutes are for happy things. And demon face devil monkey is up to no good -- check at those murder hands. You know, the ones where his feet should be. Meanwhile Timmy the turtle is carrying on like this is some ho hum everyday shit and we all know it isn't because even the cherub is hanging on for dear life. Between you and me, I think he's turned to the dark side. Sorry, Jesus.

Put this in a kid's room and warp their sweet little minds FOR EVER.

Scalamandre's Venetian Carnival.

Don't say I didn't warn you that this wallpaper may strangle you while you sleep.
