wishlist: whimsical wallpaper

Butterfly Jubilee wallpaper from modgreenpod.com

I love this wallpaper from Mod Green Pod .  It’s perfect for a girl’s bedroom or a powder room, but I might just try it framed on a wall.  Mod Green Pod is based in Austin and while they only have a handful of wallpaper and fabric prints, each is eco-friendly and designed to inspire.

    I also love that butterfly wallpaper! It’s super cute and seeing it is giving me a really good idea about what I’m going to do once I make Hannah’s room a little more “grown up”… now that she turned 5. How big a piece of wallpaper looks good in a frame? Small, like 8×10 or huge like 30×40?

    That’s a great question. I’ve ordered some samples and I’ll post the results. I like the idea of framing this in a deep-set 8X10 frame, but it just depends on how large the pattern is in reality. I thought it would also be nice to paper the inside of a cabinet. Wouldn’t it be lovely to open the door of your medicine cabinet and watch the butterflies flutter? Or perhaps that is too reminiscent of moths, a constant menace to our wool sweaters in Brooklyn… I definitely won’t be papering inside a closet with this pattern!

    Great idea of papering the inside of cabinets. I have really deep kitchen cabinets so I have hung fun colorful plates on the cabinet walls which make me smile as I’m putting up my clean white (not necessarily boring, though) dishes. Next house…wall paper. I like it.

    I love a bold wallpaper in a peekaboo location, especially a cabinet! That is definitely the place to take chances. In fact, it merits a whole post of its own. Stay tuned…

    I promise I will stop commenting! Did you see the One Kings Lane sale of this line this week? Why not take some of the fabric and put it up on a canvas stretcher for your dining room? Easy to change and cheap to make. But a nice mellow…or crazy…pop of color, depending on your fabric choice.
