Day 14 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Sea Urchin"

Sea Urchin (NA6340)

A dear friend who spends her summers in Rumford, ME and her winters on North Haven Island, ME suggested I do something with sea urchin. I had not considered the idea and a few days later I received a box of urchin she found on her beach.

Lena wants me to remodel our guest bath and install the “layered” version on the walls, she will then glaze the floor & I suggested aluminum leaf fish, swimming in the blue green glazed floor. If we ever get around to it, I will post photos of the result.

Day 13 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Fossilized Coral Stone"

Fossilized Coral Stone

I have reproduced this coral stone in ultra high resolution and can offer it in a 20 foot long by 10 foot high print with no repeat. The opal version can be delivered on metallic canvas for a truly pearlescent look.

Day 12 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Moroccan Lucy"

Moroccan Lucy

When Lucy Beauchemin of Beauchemin Grassi Interiors asked us to create a Moroccan design for a ceiling on Commonwealth Ave. in Boston, I was unsure if I could do it. Here is the result of many hours of design work and hand painting.

Day 11 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Art Deco Glass"

Art Deco Glass

Today we have wallpaper patterns created from art deco glass. They come in subway tile, square tile and swirl. The “grout” in the two tile patterns is available in any color. As with all our papers the color and size is customizable.

Day 10 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Fall Leaves"

Fall Leaves

One fall day, raking at our cottage in Maine, I noticed a beautiful worm eaten leaf on the ground. Then I saw them everywhere. That lead to a day spent collecting leaves and pressing them. 

This wallpaper comes in a layered, forest like pattern with a 41"x24" repeat or in random patterns with a 24"x24" repeat.

Day 9 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Chinoiserie Panel (La Quinta)"

Chinoiserie Panel (La Quinta)

In 2009 Lena and Brooke painted this chinoiserie panel in the California Desert. We installed a giclée print of this artwork in Glen Magna Farms, as part of the Danvers Historical Society’s “Designer Show House”. We are currently creating a 60” x 70” roller shade with the image for a home in Wenham, MA.

The roller shade required a vertical format and since the home owner had her heart set on this image, I had to "re-work" the image.

Day 8 ~ WALLPAPER-A-DAY "Shagreen"

Shagreen

Since the 17th Century, the term "shagreen" has referred to leather made from sharkskin or the skin of a rayfish. This is why shagreen is used on small boxes and as an embellishment. Our shagreen is available in a herringbone pattern or a seamless sheet with up to a 26.5" repeat and in virtually any tone.
