Beautiful Rooms : This is basically what my parents house is like :)

Love those leaf prints

There is no real theme for todays post, just a collection of beautiful rooms that I have recently found on the Web..... hope you enjoy them ..... and are as obsessed with that Lily of the Valley wallpaper in the second picture as I am :)

I want to sit in here !!!!!

Current Obsession: Wallpaper from Renn Designs

Big Cat Wallpaper from Renn Designs

Last week I discovered Chantal Renn from Renn Designs and her quite frankly magical children's wallpaper designed to 'inspire young minds' . The above wallpaper is called 'Big cats' and although I agree it is perfect for a child's room, I can also see this in an 'adult room'... I would love this in my bathroom!!!

With more wallpapers on the way, Chantal is certainly one to look out for...

My parents are big wallpaper enthusiasts. They have huge crazy patterned walls with flowers and birds and wonderful matching paintwork.... it is such a massive contrast to the white walls in my little house. Although I love the idea of beautiful swirling patterns I am afraid I am not brave enough!

What do you think?

I come from family that growing up were in love with wallpaper. Usually Laura ashley, William Morris and Sanderson prints. Not just in one room, but every room had its own print complete with matching curtains, trimmings, tie backs, cushions and bed covers. The wall paper was usually eccentric and opulent and suits my parents perfectly, they would not have been happy with magnolia.

For me though, living in rented accommodation for the last 12 years, I have come to long for white walls. My new house has a hideous feature wall in brown, that is made worse by the wardrobe shaped blue square on one side (soooooo Lazy!) that i will have to paint over. With white you can always spruce it up with Mexican throws, artwork, bookcases or cushions and the all important Houseplant. Even my parents are now starting to play it a little more "safe".

What do you guys think, are you confident with wallpaper or playing it safe with white?
