Wallpaper conundrum

We received an email from Judy today asking for help. She found this really cute wallpaper in a picture from a carpet website and would like to know where she can find it so she can use it in her office. I've never seen it before so I thought someone out there might know.

Judy also wanted to share some original patterns she has created (either by hand or computer-generated) and can be found on this website. Now they too would make some fabulous wallpapers!

Patterns

I will admit, I am a SERIOUS patternmaniaphile. Ok, I just made that term up. Definition = someone totally obsessed with patterns. I could sit here and look at pictures of patterned wallpaper and fabrics all day. I think mixing patterns is practically an art form...and very easy to overdo or get it wrong. Here are some examples of it done right.

If you're afraid of wallpaper, simply try some patterned accessories...like these.

Stripes

Jonathan Clark	Mark Luscombe-Whyte

Stripes are a fun graphic way to address walls, and can make a room look longer or taller. They can be a pain to paint (I can vouch for that) but there are many wallpapers out there now that can save you some of the grief. They look great anywhere, as seen here, in bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, living rooms....
