Hello friends – I hope you’re enjoying your weekend so far.
The other night, I had a dream where we had finally finished some lingering projects. I sat there proudly admiring our space, with beautiful white washed brick walls and macrame hanging pots housing beautiful lush plants. The room looked so calm and peaceful. It was of course a let down when I awoke to realize that it was just a dream.
I have been a little obsessed with brick walls lately, hence the reason we installed one in our son’s recent room makeover. I really like the look of the white brick and want to incorporate it into our mini master bedroom makeover, but I don’t necessarily want the full commitment of having a permanent panel on our wall. In part because I recognize I have a tendency to change things around a little too often. Enter Graham and Brown…
They have a great brick effect paintable wallpaper and I can’t wait to receive the sample I recently ordered.
Speaking of wallpaper, did you know this week was national wallpaper week (Oct 5th-11th)? To celebrate, Graham and Brown developed 7 themes for each day of the week, which you can see here.
I love all of the themes, but my favourite is calm. I love the idea of creating a tranquil setting in your home.
Here are some spaces which are calm and tranquil and are serving as inspiration to our own decor…
I love this image and those adorable new prints are also from Graham and Brown. Aren’t they so sweet?
Thanks so much for dropping by. I hope the rest of your weekend is great…xo
I love the Calm too. It looks like a lot of fun. Inspired is amazing! I’d have that on a whole wall or walls. I love Funky too. It really is Funky! I’m not sure about Social. That might be a bit to much for me. We have wallpaper in our house. Our living room has brown with silver squares on it. Rick Springfield has a jacket that is exactly the same except the squares are gold. I think of Rick every time I go into our living room. Our hallway has white and silver triangles that look like bamboo. I love our wallpaper! I love what you did in your house too!
Lord, when was the last time you used that Praktica, (3rd pic. down) Always is my favourite camera, but film stuff now is so difficult & expensive! Ditto DSLR :-(( xx
I like “calm” best, followed by “nostalgic”. I’m an old soul ….
And I love the quiet texture of white brick, too. 🙂
Brick walls, painted or natural or even wallpapered are a great way to add texture and uniqueness to your home, aren’t they? You captured some beautiful images here!
I love puppy paintings!

I grew up in lovely old pre-war brick homes down her in Oz, and so many of them were knocked down or renovated so there was this amazing surplus of whitewashed (plaster/render) red bricks during the 0-‘s (my 20’s).
I just have the most lovely connection to white bricks now, andLOVE that it has come back into fashion.
You gotta love the revolving door that brings everything old and passé back into vogue again, don’t you?!?
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Very stylish apartment! Now my husband and I are also thinking about renting. I read about sunny isles beach rent the other day and was inspired by the different options. Before moving to another housing, you should weigh all the pros and cons
