SISTINE CHAPEL CEILING ~ seeing this image very differently at the moment 💔 ift.tt/2WqDkh4

BEDROOM ~ @the_bower_house using our #lionessandpalms paper. Loving the little nook 💚🧡💚🧡 ift.tt/3aFs44o

HATS OFF ~ to @theworldofinteriors. Thrilled to find their latest issue 'brimming' with small-scale wallpaper designs. And even more delighted to find our very own Love Leaves by William Kilburn included in Maude Smith's Millinery masterpiece! ift.tt/32KM56N

CUSHION DROP ~ Hold mE.U cushions now back in stock 👉👈 ift.tt/2TxLOQP

BARNETT FREEDMAN ~ for a limited edition book produced by @fleecepress in 2011. The cover is a repeat pattern taken from a short strip of decoration originally produced as an intended border for a 1937 Imperial Airways Poster. Wondering about a wallpaper… ift.tt/2wSCsav

ROLL UP ROLL UP ~ It was not until the mid-17th century that the single sheets of printed paper were joined together to form long rolls of wallpaper. This development that also encouraged the production of larger repeats and the introduction of block-pri… ift.tt/3c1ETYt

THE YELLOW CURTAIN ~ Edouard Vuillard 1983. Quite a contemporary composition with its big blocks of colour. Very much enjoying the theatricality as well 💛 ift.tt/2HKLFny

ANOTHER LOVELY LOO ~ by @samsacksdesign using our Lioness & Palms by Voysey. Really enjoying how the paper picks up the colours of the stained glass 💙💚🧡 ift.tt/37yC9hP

BEAUTIFUL BAR ~ by the talented @charlottebarnesdesign in her Palmetto Bluff project in South Carolina. Photo by @janebeilesphoto and featured in @housebeautiful this month 💫 ift.tt/2tYYoj2

WITH LOVE ~ in our hearts (and under our toes) we are so very grateful for all the wonderful people we've met who have helped us along the way this year, all our lovely customers, and of course each other! Sending love and laughter to all this valentines… ift.tt/2OQ0Mjd

WILLIAM RATCLIFFE ~ Attic Room, 1918 via @tate. The decoration feels strangely contemporary. The boots maybe less so 😉 ift.tt/39tfAMI

PRETTY IN PINK ~ this ribboned wallpaper, by @susiegreen_ makes a wrapping for a room and/or the person in it. The unravelling ribbons, inspired by the #regencystripe entwine us with our environments (and each other). Just perfect for #valentines 💞 ift.tt/37cIHSR

THE CHINTZ COUCH ~ by Ethel Sands (1910-11). Sunny scene for a sunny morning 🌞 ift.tt/398Fzc3

OLD OAK ~ by William Kilburn in @homesandgardensuk this month. Really fun shoot exploring the classics of the future styled by @sallydenningstyling. In extremely good company here with @marytnorden @matildagoad @ninacampbellltd @theconranshopofficial @p… ift.tt/37VQPsb

AT HOME ~ with Edward Bawden. Photo by Geoffrey Ireland from the 1950s (we think). Love how the wallpaper works with the rug 🖤 ift.tt/2RCN9pq

RIDING THE WAVE ~ So many of these Bawden beauties going out at the moment. One of our archival designs, Wave is from 1929. Edward Bawden was one of the most significant artists of his time. His career spanned much of the twentieth century, and seamlessl… ift.tt/2uHxgFg

GEORGIE HOPTON ~ hand-stencilled wallpaper. She says 'I tend to think think in terms of worlds more than I do in singular objects on white walls. I have a desire to fill the view, not pepper it.' Words to live by! 🖋️ ift.tt/36lAF9Y

THINKING ABOUT FABRIC TODAY ~ and trying to find a good base cloth to print an exciting new (old) design on. We actually had these curtains made up for our bedroom in a William Kilburn design that CommonRoom put in repeat but never put into production as… ift.tt/2tnc5YP

THANK YOU ~ @rebeccadeboehmler @homesandgardensuk for featuring us in your January issue. Very much appreciated 💚 ift.tt/2u0XsKU

NEED A SIT DOWN TODAY ~ not the most relaxing weekend ever. Although we did make it to the @morrisgallery which everyone loved. Off to the @allbright now to meet @sarahstayawake for a very intense planning sesh. Have even packed our new shiny @j.elbourne… ift.tt/30hbh3V
