Wallpapers from Studio Printworks

June is Wallpaper Month. Here are some whimsical and wonderful papers from Studio Printworks. They’re carrying artist, Kiki Smith’s design “Maiden & Moonflower,” which she created for a special show currently underway at the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld, Germany. The show runs through August 24th.

Sheila Bridges, the designer of the Harlem Toile says, “I designed it to remind people of many of the stereotypes that have historically been and continue to be associated with African Americans living in rural parts of the country as well as urban areas like Harlem.” Visit the site to see all the colorways available.

Southern Flowers makes me think of wallpapers from the 1940’s. I wasn’t around then, but someone must have forgotten to update and it made an imprint in my brain. Artist Sydney Albertini says she was inspired by one of her own paintings.

I would love to meet Jessica Smith. Her papers are too much fun. Are you wondering where you would use a paper that’s got some funky in the fun? Try lining the back of a bookshelf. Use it on just one wall. The laundry room is the perfect place to do something really wild. It makes doing a chore so much more bearable.

Do you have an interesting wallpaper use? Pass it along and I’ll write it up. You have all month to send me photos of your own wallpaper projects, your questions, ideas, favorite patterns - whatever. Let’s make it fun.
