Feeling Funky Clarke?

I was introduced to Clarke & Clarke in Atlanta last week and I love all the funky elements...
Flocked wallpaper? I must admit I love it, especially in a fun design....
Their fabric reminds me of Romo, a long time love of mine.
Love those roman shades...
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

What Started With April Showers...

GIVEAWAY! My Newest Wall Obsession

By now you have probably seen the amazing products from Whitewall & Co.; but if you haven't I want to introduce you to my newest wall obsession. You know I LOVE wallpaper but sometimes between the price and my personal indecisiveness I wish there was something more temporary. These are some rooms done using Whitewalls large stencils.
Perhaps you remember these from here?

Not only do they have patterns for your walls but they also have wainscot designs and borders as well.
Okay, now here is where you come in dear readers! Whitewall & Co. is giving away one of their wall patterns to a Haven & Home reader. Here are just some to chose from....



All you have to do to enter the giveaway is either leave a comment or send me an e-mail. I would love to hear what room you would use it in and if you would go bright and bold or something more subtle like tone on tone. Want color ideas for your walls? Be sure to visit there WEBSITE for endless possibilities.

I want to use one in my guest bath that I have been planning on wallpapering since the day we moved in, not sure what color paint I would use though. Just talking about this is getting my DIY brain cells moving.

I will choose a winner at random on Friday morning, good luck!!!!

**Update- Someone just e-mailed me asking if they are a follower if they can enter twice. I didn't put anything about followers because I did not want people to feel like they had to follow to win- but I really do appreciate H&H's followers, so yes if you are a follower you can enter twice. Thanks again!

Everything Old Is New Again: Guest House

James and Jo Ford's guest house isn't just any old house. It is actually their very first house. They sold it over 4 decades ago, then recently purchased it for $1 and moved the structure onto their family property. Think that is sweet? The icing on the cake is their designer son, Brad, made it over for them. Here is a bedroom before and after:What I love: the studded chest as a bedside table, the bedding-especially the pillows, the hanging lamps, the seagrass rug, and last but not least the wallpaper on the back wall. Perfection in a simple way.
For the rest of this makeover visit Country Living.

Where To Begin? Farm Perfection.

This room from the farmhouse of the Orloff family is pretty perfect.Lets see: Huge detailed mirror, velvet sofa, white rug, cool lamp, large beautiful secretary, cute side table, zig-zag pillow, grey ceiling, and last but not least- fun yet classic wallpaper. Yes, Yes and Yes please.

For the rest of the farmhouse visit Country Living.

Nursery Wallpaper

How cute is this wallpaper?  It is some of the nicest wallpaper I have seen for children's rooms.  It is from a British company called Fromental. Established in 2005,  Fromental produces a beautiful line of hand painted wallpapers.  The Company is headed by Tim Butcher, former seven years Creative Director of world-renowned hand-painted Chinoiserie house de Gournay.  Their latest line is called "Brainchild" (I love that name), and is a mini collection of 3 fun layouts for children's rooms.  The pictures show the colorways available in each series.  The schematic shows how the panels go together to create a mural on the wall.
