after we move in to our new place, i’ll have a set of stairs that lead nowhere other than my very own lofted studio space. since the entire area will be dedicated to creativity, i’m thinking about doing something inspirational to the staircase itself. you know, something to get my creative juices flowing before i even arrive.  i love how sarah over at sarah moore vintage wallpapered these stairs using scraps of vintage wallpaper she’d collected over the years. though it’s a busy look, i think the style and colors really pull together to give it lots of sweet character. doing a simple search for ‘wallpapered stairs’ will quickly give you a glance at all the possibilities a little wallpaper can provide!

i’ve been using spoonflower to get custom fabric printed for a long time now, so i was thrilled to hear about their launch of custom wallpaper and wall decals this week.

now we crafsters, designers and do-it-yourselfers can design our own wallpaper for any space, any time. and if you’re not a designer, you can still browse spoonflower’s thousands of designs made by independent artists. spoonflower’s wallpaper is also removable and eco friendly, which makes it perfect for renters (or anyone who just likes to change things up frequently)!

with an eye toward environmentally conscious consumers and moms looking to decorate nurseries and kids’ rooms, spoonflower has printed their wallpaper on PVC-free paper using durable, eco-friendly inks, so you can feel safe about using it in nurseries and kids’ rooms.

so fun to see what a little bit of modern wallpaper can do for a space, don’t you think? ferm living offers a whole line up of home goods, but i’m especially smitten by their wallpaper.  inspired by natural elements and soft hues, i love the organic feel they each have.

ok, so i’ve been spending a lot of time lately in the latest do it yourself magazine, and this last issue was full of things that made my ‘when i have time’ list a little longer.  i scanned a few pages to share (sorry about the fold) with you, maybe we’ll all get a little inspired to become that weekend warrior we always plan to be!

is this not the loveliest work area you’ve ever seen?  they’ve taken an old crate and made it into a desk (probably in an afternoon), and used vintage drawers for those perfect organizers.

let’s dissect it a little further..

yes, simple cork rounds doll those boring (and cheap) shelves up and turn them into an ever so useful tack board.  i’m thinking sketches, to-do’s, cards.. and they are so much cuter than your usual cork board buy. my favorite part? with a glass cylinder, they’ve turned that ‘haven’t got to it yet yarn’ into not such a daunting piece of art.

ok, here’s where i get a little obsessed.  this wallpaper.  need i say more?  i have to have it.

have a lovely weekend and i hope to see you here in a few days!
