‘I love that settee. Where would I use it?’
‘That wallpaper with the frames is bananas good. Wouldn’t it look great behind the stairway?’
Little sketches. I’ve been doing these for years — first in actual sketchbooks and now either on my computer or tablet. Pull a product photo or two in, and create a little vignette. Here are a few I’ve done lately with pieces that have caught my eye.
- Bridal Rug Settee, Wisteria
- Miles Redd Waterfall Console Table, Ballard Designs
- Color Swirls Glass Table Lamps by Safavieh, Target
- Celine Bench in Wasabi Velvet, West Elm
- Picture Gallery Wallpaper by Sanderson
I couldn’t find a retail version available, but it can be found through showrooms to the trade. This Floral Gallery Wallpaper from Anthropologie would be a great alternative.
And can I include a note of practicality here? Young kids touch the walls when going up and down stairs. I would have loved to continue the wallpaper from the hallway on the second floor down the stairway, but it would have a gross line of dirt at kid-height in no time. Keep that in mind if you ever think about wallpapering your own stairway! Pick something forgiving/washable, go without for a while, or affect a more laissez-faire attitude than mine.

The problem with those sketches is that everything looks so freakin’ cute. I’d buy it all!

These are super fun! Do you prefer one medium over the other- actual sketchbooks vs tech?

I am completely in love with these sketches! I think I’d be quite happy living in that sketch universe, tripping from full color product to a black and white dream universe where anything is possible!
