Do you remember this bit of fabulousness? Can you believe it was published 7 years ago? I swear I’m going to do this one day in some room, in some house …..

This could keep people in the bathroom a very long time:) So intereting and whimsical..and no two bathrooms would ever look alike!! Really neat…stop by doing a great giveaway for a gorgeous Kilim bench!
The idea is timeless. I did a bathroom like a quilt. I cut out patterns from magazines, wallpaper books, wrapping paper, etc and created a quilt pattern on the walls. That was years ago and I have since sold the house but it still stands out as one of my favorite rooms. Do it!

Paloma just featured the designer on her blog and I totally remember this space…some beauties are simply unforgettable…can’t wait to see how yours turns out Ally!
Lovely idea.
I once saw in a magazine of interior design that a brazilian designer bought a book containing letters from Portugal (Empire times)and used the pages to turn them into frames.
I will never forget that, it was beautiful as this wall.

I love this. But I don’t think I’d be brave enough to do it in my own home. But I’d happily do it to a friends house, and tell them how great it looks too
So right! Me too!

such a cool idea – especially when you have great art like that in the books! and it’s a green friendly wall paper
I recently started to add very colorful little posters to the little room
Lovely idea.

Amazing! So cool and pretty!
What a fabulous idea?! Did they hang each piece individually? So awesome it is from 7 years ago and still valid today. great share.
Yes this is so cool and a guest bathroom is the perfect place for this kind of thing. I love an unexpected treat like this.
