More Fantastic Wallpapers!!

Wallpaper

Here are some more modern wallpapers I found on Walnut Wallpaper’s web site . The black bird paper I saw on the walls in a cute clothing boutique in Ballard. I liked it because the seam is right through the middle of the tree trunk, so ther is no need to align the paper perfectly to a pattern. The little whales are my favorite. They had them advertised in Domino for a childrens room or nursry, but I think they would be perfect for a bathroom!

New Madonna! Hotter then Ever!

I try and stick to things related to design and Catch & Release for this blog, but I couldn’t help but proclaim my excitment for Madonna’s new album, Hard Candy. I guess I could justify by saying creativity comes from everywhere. I have been counting the days until Tuesday, the release date, but then I discovered that she has posted the full album on her Myspace. Yay!!! It is incredibly fabulous. Madonna dancing party at my house tonight!!!

Wallpaper is Back!! And cooler then ever.

Letterpress Wallpaper

When I think of wallpaper, I imagine that horrible pink, paint brushed flower border paper my mom put up in my room as a kid. I’m sure much of that is still around, but I’m so excited to finally discover some stylish, colorful patterns I would put up in my own home. My friend Cari sent me this awesome wallpaper pic. Its from Domino Magazine’s story on Fashion Designer Lisa Perry’s modern home. After doing some serious research and contacting some of Lisa Perry’s correspondants - I tracked it down to the Second Hand Rose in Tribeca who had many more awesome wallpaper patterns to choose from. Hello Wallpaper!
