Do you have wallpaper in your home? I think the hand-printed offerings from Grow House Grow are pretty. Plus, each design has a story.

i think i may have just fallen in love! i have never been a fan of wallpaper but these are gorgeous! my best friend is having a baby and right now we are talking about wall colors for the nursery. i'm going to suggest one of these. so far i'm leaning towards the Cottontail in Powder, but since she insn't finding out the gender this may have to wait until the baby arrives.
I know that wallpaper has made some leaps and bounds in design and style but I just can't get out of my head the wallpaper in my Oma's (grandmother's) house. The kind from the 70s that is just dreadful. Maybe one day I will get over this dramatic experience and give it a try in my house. :)

Oooh, this is great. I'd love some. But my kids are drawing on the walls right now, so technically, I already HAVE hand-painted wallpaper.
Ha. And sigh.

I had wallpaper about 3 days ago. Painted wallpaper even. Oh and it seems to have been the first thing put up in that bathroom. It's behind the mirror, the stool, the vanity, even the trim! Argh! Not to mention the fact that it was put directly on the naked wallboard, 50 years ago! So some of the wallboard has come off with it. Luckily I know a guy who can help me. With a little prep work on my part and a coat of primer, he'll be ready to put up a coat of plaster… and he knows to keep it smooth.
