Fabulous Walls from Lonny

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dHUiGK9OoMo/TXo7hQi1NcI/AAAAAAAAGUw/3OL0hZQ96ec/s1600/Picture+21.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dHUiGK9OoMo/TXo7hQi1NcI/AAAAAAAAGUw/3OL0hZQ96ec/s1600/Picture+21.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While scrolling through the most recent edition of <i><a href="http://www.lonnymag.com/issues/16-march-april-2011-issue/pages/1">Lonny magazine</a></i>, I noticed a subtle feature over and over. Almost every interior had some amazing wall treatments. Here are a few of my favorites. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The room above feels like someone climbed into my subconscious, gathered everything they could find and used it to decorate this space...its almost eery. I need to live here!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XJR8NbHLKV8/TXo6oA94UmI/AAAAAAAAGUc/SBE12FXmKlg/s1600/Picture+27.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-XJR8NbHLKV8/TXo6oA94UmI/AAAAAAAAGUc/SBE12FXmKlg/s1600/Picture+27.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I love the unusual mix of mismatched prints and unique mirrors. Its so unpredictable, so it keeps the room feeling fresh. What I REALLY love about this room is the ceiling! Wow, its so fantastic. Personally, I hate low white ceilings, because they just bring a room down. Instead, this ceiling actually makes the space.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WCSBJ_f8D1w/TXo6sL6mWbI/AAAAAAAAGUg/XnxY2MbD61c/s1600/Picture+28.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WCSBJ_f8D1w/TXo6sL6mWbI/AAAAAAAAGUg/XnxY2MbD61c/s1600/Picture+28.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Black lacquer cabinets in the kitchen? Yes!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Yf2nfiFHEFc/TXo6xmlehXI/AAAAAAAAGUk/iFAF9KioHV8/s1600/Picture+32.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Yf2nfiFHEFc/TXo6xmlehXI/AAAAAAAAGUk/iFAF9KioHV8/s1600/Picture+32.png" /></a></div>I had to do a double-take on this wall. Right in the middle is a flat-screen television. A stylish wall while you watch TV....nice.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7OGkmRW3zeI/TXo61HCN16I/AAAAAAAAGUo/3fU6wZADR3I/s1600/Picture+31.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7OGkmRW3zeI/TXo61HCN16I/AAAAAAAAGUo/3fU6wZADR3I/s1600/Picture+31.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zBTkb9bvgsU/TXo65GsGk1I/AAAAAAAAGUs/jlx1MvoGEvA/s1600/Picture+33.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-zBTkb9bvgsU/TXo65GsGk1I/AAAAAAAAGUs/jlx1MvoGEvA/s1600/Picture+33.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the combination of old and new in this dining room. Especially the large traditional mirror, leaning against the wall. Truly beautiful!</div></div>

I think the look is so exciting! I guess you could call me a design nerd. Oh well, what can I say. The top picture is from a blog I just found called <a href="http://decorfellow.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html#6227697161849234013"><span style="font-style: italic;">Decor Fellow</span></a>. It is a restaurant in Santa Barbara designed by <a href="http://www.michaelsmithinc.com/j/i/19520/HomePage.html"><span style="font-style: italic;">Michael S. Smith.</span></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The second picture is not actually tile, but a wallpaper. This is a great idea for a quick change or a less expensive option. Now, I don't know how long it would hold up as a backsplash. I would consider looking for a nice pattern in a commercial grade paper. They are a little better suited for a kitchen. I found this on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ninainvorm/2378114946/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Ninainvorm's flickr </span></a>site.<br /></div>

Beyond Wallpaper.

<div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xvJK1UmI/AAAAAAAAAy4/VTE9Z69cVGg/s1600-h/Picture+40.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165542721090572898" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xvJK1UmI/AAAAAAAAAy4/VTE9Z69cVGg/s800/Picture+40.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a>I have slyly alluded to my distrust of wallpaper. I know its the hottest thing out there, I just don't like the "permanence" of it. I have used wallpaper on some of my projects, but I usually keep it to a minimum. So, you can imagine my delight to find the work of <a href="http://www.jpricharddesign.com/"><span style="font-style: italic;">J. Prichard Design. </span></a><br />Jennifer Prichard crafts these beautiful porcelain pieces that are made into spectacular wall displays.<br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xvZK1UnI/AAAAAAAAAzA/Lm9VR70JU8Y/s1600-h/Picture+41.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165542725385540210" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xvZK1UnI/AAAAAAAAAzA/Lm9VR70JU8Y/s800/Picture+41.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xv5K1UoI/AAAAAAAAAzI/-HBc--pIO18/s1600-h/Picture+44.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165542733975474818" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xv5K1UoI/AAAAAAAAAzI/-HBc--pIO18/s800/Picture+44.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a>The organic shapes can be attached to a wall piece by piece (believe it or not), or can be attached to a tile and then installed on the wall. I am blown away by the dreamy quality these pieces have, and how wonderful they look. So to all the wallpaper lovers out there, I hope this can be a great compromise.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xwJK1UpI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/jcZkfTxAphg/s1600-h/Picture+38.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165542738270442130" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xwJK1UpI/AAAAAAAAAzQ/jcZkfTxAphg/s800/Picture+38.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xwZK1UqI/AAAAAAAAAzY/rNBDnSpjPhU/s1600-h/Picture+46.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5165542742565409442" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_gt7eA_0QKPA/R6-xwZK1UqI/AAAAAAAAAzY/rNBDnSpjPhU/s800/Picture+46.png" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" /></a>
