I am Dying. DYING over this Wallpaper.

Pups in Cups.  Are you kidding me??

As you may or may not know, I am kind of obsessed with my dog (Hi Derby!).  When I saw this wallpaper from Binny Illustration on design*sponge the other day, I had to take a closer look.  Pups.  In cups!  I particularly love doggy ears & these auricles flapping in the wind make me giddy. 

I could totally live in the bedroom above, but I can guarantee that would never fly (ha) with Ted.  It's entirely possible that this will end up in our house someday, even if it's in the form of our non-existent baby's room.

You can order this paper, and lots of other great designs, from photowall.

Interesting tidbit: I hated HATED dogs when I was little.  So horribly afraid. We got a dog when I was 6 or 7.  Neither my sister nor I would go outside if it was out there.  One day, my mom forced us to go out and play and when she looked out the window a few minutes later to see Amy & I standing on top of the swinging seesaw and double cradle thing on our swing-set. Needless to say, we didn't have a dog for long :/

Amy still hates them; I've embraced the fur face.

Happy Thursday! Is it spring yet?!

Bye Bye Marimekko Wallpaper!

How sad!  I just read on the Always Mod Blog that Marimekko wallpaper has been discontinued!  I guess there is a pretty limited niche market for (sometimes) over-the-top & bright, always bold wallpaper, but I was still surprised to hear this. 

I guess the good news is that it is on sale while supplies last, so I say snap up a roll or two of the iconic Unikko pattern and paper the walls of a small bathroom!  I love large, graphic prints in small spaces.  I also studied the designer, Maija Isola, in college and am particularly drawn to her designs.

Check out more patterns here.  & buy today before it's gone!
