I have posted about the wallpaper by Barneby Gates once before and I am not going to apologise for posting about it again. There isn’t a paper in their collection that I don’t absolutely love and right now, I am totally smitten with these three papers in particular. Green is a colour that has a huge draw for me at the moment and following advice from colour expert and consultant Karen Haller when I interviewed her about using magnolia in interior design, green is the colour I have decided to use to brighten up my magnolia living room and also my bedroom for that matter.
The design of the Lucky Charms wallpaper features symbols of fortune, such as horse shoes, crossed keys, ladybirds and acorns, arranged in a classic urn formation.
Boxing Hares is a paper that had me intrigued for a good half hour. No matter how hard I concentrated I couldn’t for the life of me make out any boxing hares, it was like one of those annoying magic eye pictures. I finally got it and then it was as clear as day. I’d love to know if any of you have the same difficulty.
Featuring hand-painted watercolour lily pads and graphic dragon flies, the Dragonflies wallpaper evokes images of hazy summer days by the riverside.
I think Lucky Charms is my favourite though. What about you?
I had a jolly good laugh. I was staring intently at the green part of the wall paper design I almost gave up. Good thing after 5 minutes or so I decided to study the gold part of the design instead and voila! there the elusive boxing hares were.
Haha, so I’m not the only one? Thank goodness, I felt like a right idiot trying to see the boxing hares. It’s so obvious though isn’t it once you spot them?
Took me a while to get the boxing hares too. It’s a great pattern, but I’m not sure I could live with the ‘magic eye’ effect – I think I would drive myself mad looking at it, seeing and then not seeing. I also like Lucky Charms.
Me too! Although it would be a great conversation piece for when you have guests round wouldn’t it? Who can spot the hares in the room?
