Bonus Bone: Barbara Hulanicki wallpaper

Diva-Oyster wallpaper, at Graham & Brown

Hula-Charcoal/Gold, at Graham & Brown

I'm still dreaming of the day when I can wallpaper a wall or two in my home with some gorgeous, bold paper. Hardwood and I have decided to push back our house hunting until next year with the financial crisis going on. So for now it means I will still be hunting around for that perfect design.

And I believe I may have found the one! The line of wallpapers designed by Barbara Hulanicki is right up our Art Nouveau-loving alley. Hardwood and I got married at a very lavish Art Nouveau venue so we have a soft-spot for those curvy, organic swirls. I can't decide which design I like better. The Diva has the more traditional Art Nouveau design. But KERPOW! the Hula wallpaper in Charcoal and gold just knocks me out!!!

The other thing I love about these wallpapers is the price. I always balked at the idea of spending $180 on a roll of paper. Outrageous! But these are only $60 for a double roll. Definitely a nice surprise!

For these reasons, I, Porcelain, declare this a Design Boner.

Quite possibly the cutest butter dish

Whale butter dish, at Jonathan Adler

Remember Jonathan Adler's whale pitcher? Now there is some more whale-adorableness to add to the collection in butter dish form. Who knew whales were one of the cutest animals to make into ceramics?!
