" I&amp;#039;m a little obsessed with wallpaper. If you checked out the May issue of REDBOOK, then you probably saw the &amp;quot;Instant Drama&amp;quot; feature I did on different ways to decorate with wallpaper. I have a piece of wallpaper framed in my kitchen and a couple more swatches framed in the living room. I tried to create a photo album with wallpaper, but I still need to learn a thing or two about bookbinding. I&amp;#039;m planning to play around with the idea of wallpaper placemats as an idea for my wedding. The funny thing is I hated the wallpapered rooms in my house growing up. The craziest wallpaper was this shiny gold/brown &amp;#039;70s paisley-gone-bad pattern on our 3rd floor. Ick! I wish I had a photo to show you this pattern in all its ugly glory. But kind of like beets (which I also loathed as a kid), I&amp;#039;ve developed a taste and respect for wallpaper. Wallpaper has definitely had a resurgence in home design, and thankfully, companies are now making it easier to put up wallpaper with Sure-Strip technology. I think the cool thing about wallpaper is you can do so much more with it -- and you just need a little to make a big impact. Unfortunately for us, I think the UK is ahead of the curve in coming out with amazing, cool wallpapers that play on pattern, color, and scale in a fresh way. One of my favorite booths from the recent ICFF trade show was by Kevin Dean, a UK artist. I love that he&amp;#039;s offering his beautiful patterns in small batches (you can buy 1 meter for about $70 to $100, contact him here). Dan would probably never go for a floral pattern like this in our place, no matter how small a snippet. However, I think it has just the right Granny chic mixed with modern vibe. Dean&amp;#039;s choice of colors, and soft watercolor style is so pretty. I would love to frame a piece of the roses for a bathroom. I also have my eye on this black-and-white Fir Tree pattern by Ferm Living -- love this wallpaper! I think this would look fantastic as a large panel in a living room.
