All Things Lovely

Elli Popp

Hi, and happy new year!! I really can't believe it's 2010, 2009 seemed to just go by in a blur. I'm happy it's a new year, it seems so many possibilities are now stretched out before me, even though not much has changed! I hope you had a nice break if you did get to have one, I enjoyed a week off work which I spent relaxing and also starting a mini kitchen renovation, which I'll have to share with you soon.

I thought though I'd share about Elli Popp, which is all about gorgeous wallpapers, cushions and lovely ceramic tea sets. I just love their website, such beautiful photos. Go and have a look!

 
  

Catherine Martin Wallpaper

This woman is one of the most amazing and creative people I've ever seen. Her costumes for movies such as Moulin Rouge and Australia are just exquisite! So, how exciting that Catherine Martin now has her own range of wallpaper!

You can also download some of her beautiful wallpaper designs as wallpaper for your computer!

My Wallpaper Dream

I would love love love to have some wallpaper in my house. Of course, gone are the days of the daggy yellow wallpapered wall. Wallpaper of today is beautiful, stylish and lustworthy!

I have a wall in mind, the one at the landing in my staircase. It's about 4 metres high and 2 metres wide and I currently use it as my photo wall. I'm thinking of wallpapering it, and removing the photo wall. I'm still deciding whether you really can hammer picture hooks into wallpaper... thoughts?

Apologies for the bad photo, very hard to take! I've found a few wallpapers that I'd love to use. While it's not in the budget right now, it is something I'd really love to do.

This first wallpaper is Erin by Laura Ashley. I love the colours. From the staircase you look down into my dining room which is decorated in pale pink, blue and latte. I think this would flow really nicely. This is apparently more blue than the photo suggests. So far this is my absolute favourite.

Then there is this wallpaper I've loved for a while from Mibo. I'm just not sure whether I'm brave enough!

I also like the following two, from Graham Brown, although I have tried unsucessfully on two occasions to order samples from them which just never turn up, so I'd be concerned about ordering several rolls!
