Fabric and Wallpapers by Abigail Borg
Daylight savings time change from this weekend has us with spring on the brain. Are you counting down the days for better weather and sunshine? We certainly are which is why British illustrator Abigail Borg is the perfect visual indulgence for us today.
For now, we’re going to forget what it looks like outside our windows and focus on this incredibly talented work by Borg. We’re going to be filling our design library with her amazing fabrics and wallpapers stat!
Why not go all out with these fabrics and papers? Here’s how we’d like to use Borg’s amazing product line in a country house. Would you?!
Reality Check

Today’s weather is a cruel welcome home after being in flip-flops at the pool above for the last three days!
Montego Bay weather this week
Brrrrr NYC!!! What a reality check.
NYC weather this week
Anyway…outside of fabulous interior design at Round Hill (check out this great write up by Cote de Texas and this by us last week) we’re also totally enamored by the Round Hill logo…
Round Hill logo and a babymoon cocktail, aka seltzer with lemon.
Some other great hand-written inspired graphic designs for this chilly January day…

“To live with you alone” print by Taj Forer, via 20×200
Slightly reminiscent of the work by most famous Cy Twombly.
And of course!

Wallpaper Weekly, no. 44 / Abigail Edwards “Seascape”
Manufacturer: Abigail Edwards / Pattern: Seascape / Colorway: Winter
We spied this chic wallpaper last week on one of our favorite daily reads, A Cup of Jo. Today this graphic has a much deeper resonance with us…
We are still in awe of the devastation brought to the East Coast and especially here in NYC during Hurricane Sandy. We wait patiently as we hope to restore power and phone cell service to both Suysel’s apartment and our office yet we are incredibly thankful to be safe and sound. Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of those who lost their lives in this catastrophic storm.
Just a couple of the many striking photos showing the power of Sandy’s water surge.

Trending: Neon
Neon: it’s on every corner these days. Walk down the stretch of 5th Ave. near our office and it’s in the window of nearly every retail outlet. When we stumbled upon these prints by Minagraphy we thought it was a cheap and cheerful way to introduce this fashion trend to your home (if you dare), without painting your dining room neon yellow. Would you do it? Are you into trending neon?

This week’s wallpaper weekly is in fact not wallpaper. For this special edition, we feature the talented Michael Loughlin of Talking Walls NYC.
Loughlin creates hand painted designs for interior walls in repeat, resulting in a dramatic visual statement similar to wallpaper. For example…

Check out a sneak peek of the pattern and colors that we developed with Michael which will cover our vignette walls (a kid’s room):
