I'm not sure if there's anything that could truly get me excited about doing laundry... but this sure gets close!
These beautiful photos were sent to us from Aly, who obviously has a gift for rescuing the often overlooked spaces in a home and remaking them into havens of warmth and cheer.

When Damon sent us photos of his apartment, there was only one suitable response—Wow!! With one green-on-green flock wallpaper and one black-on-white, Damon crafted two different spaces that are not only enviable, but inspiring.
His living room is spectacular. Not only do we admire the richness of the sage green color throughout, but we especially love his treatment of the main wall. Fantastic!
He cleverly alternates between wallpaper and paint in a way that is both dramatic and tasteful. It’s such an exciting idea with an even more impressive result.

In 2006, Julie Jackson published Subversive Cross Stitch, a hilarious collection of insolent and witty cross stitch patterns that doused an all-too-vanilla craft with a bottle of hot sauce. Even with her tamer designs like "Kiss My Grits," "Get Lost," and "#@%&!!," Jackson's caustic phrases wrapped in pretty flowers and frills would have all of our grandmothers fainting in shock.
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of her cross stitch revolution, Julie Jackson just released an updated edition of her book with 17 new and even saucier designs!
And how did Julie decide to display her delightfully incendiary cross stitch pieces? On backgrounds of vintage wallpaper of course! We were thrilled 10 years ago when Julie chose to showcase her designs on papers from the Hannah's Treasures Vintage Wallpaper collection, and when she mentioned plans for another book, we were honored to get the chance to work with her again.

Looking for some original and thoughtful gift ideas? We recently showcased four outstanding Etsy shops in our "Artisan Spotlights"-- Scodioli Creative, Vintagetypegirl, Mitzi's Collectibles, and Fondue Vintage Homewares. All of these shops have great gift options for the holidays (and birthdays and Valentine's day and all around great gift giving). Of course, our favorite aspect of each of these artisans is how they incorporate vintage wallpaper into their fantastic products, but they all have so much more to offer than just tickling our wallpaper fancy.
Check out each of these shops, and just see if you can't spot a perfect gift for someone on your list (or a little something extra for yourself too)--
