Yesterday’s holiday got us in the mood for some serious portraiture (above). Which lead us to these (below)…an assortment of beautiful bookcases styled to perfection. Common theme? Art layered over books books books.

Wallpaper Weekly, no. 23 / Gracie Studios for Tory Burch Runway
Manufacturer: Gracie Studios / Pattern: Custom Handpainted Chinoiserie Scene
How elated were we when we heard the news yesterday? Tory Burch Fall 2012 Runway featured a wallpaper clad set – deeming it the perfect wallpaper weekly selection for today.
“For Fall 2012, we were inspired by the idea of a prim girl who’s under the spell of the wrong kind of guy. She’s an innocent, unaware of her own sex appeal. The setting? The hotel where they meet.” — Tory
"Our runway set is like a hotel lobby with beautiful @graciestudio wallpaper" - Photo tweeted by @ToryBurch 2/14/12

For the ‘hotel’ runway set, Tory chose a wallcovering that is perhaps Gracie’s most iconic – as seen on the pages of Vogue in Tory’s own NYC apartment, and one of the most famous images of Pauline de Rothschild, also from Vogue, 1969 – both pictured below.
