...because home doesn't happen overnight.

I’m a huuuuge fan of Amy Butler.  Just take a look at her Ohio home…

Since we’re both from the Midwest and I read her book, Midwest Modern, AND she emails me, we’re pretty much like this…

Okay, maybe she only contacts me because I signed up to receive her email updates.  Still, I was thrilled to see her latest contribution to the world of decor.  She started out designing sewing patterns but has since moved onto fabric, stationery, home decor and now wallpaper design.  Yum.  Here are some of my favorites.

That last one, Memento in Moss, is my absolute new design crush.  If I had a little girl, I’d be slapping that paper on her bedroom walls.  Alas, I have two boys.  And those other prints would look fabulous just about anywhere.  I don’t think I’m brave enough to wallpaper an entire room but an accent wall, art piece or wall space above white wainscoting would be totally doable.  Deeee-lish.

love the second one (the blue flowers with the green leaves), but my daughter would love the orange and pink flowers.

have you ever wallpapered? i’ve never had the guts to try, but I’m eyeing some paintable beadboard wallpaper for the laundry room…

Carole – The only thing I’ve done with wallpaper is REMOVE it from walls! But the wallpaper choices nowadays are so mod it’s got me thinking twice about it.

Wallpaper has been on its way back for a quite some time especially when used on one feature wall. A striking wallpaper design when used appropriately really can give a room that all-important lift and make it look a lot less ordinary than it would otherwise. On any design projects on which I work wallpaper is one of the most critical elements I employ to give the scheme individuality.
Amy Butler wallpapers always have that delightful easy-going style and I use them regularly in my interior design projects. The online wallpaper store Wallpaperking has a full range of her designs to look through in their stylish wallpaper section
