As we are just realizing what happened, we are getting house-ready. So now has officially started our quest for wallpaper inspiration, fixtures, door knobs and other good-to-start-with and affordable decorative adornments.
Here is a sample of what we stumbled upon:
* Last weekend, at the grand re-opening of the Spadina Museum, Historic House and Gardens

* This weekend was dedicated to wallpaper ideas for the living room and/or the dining room...We therefore meticulously browsed through the internet and through our pile of World of Interiors magazines...Here are a few patterns that caught our attention.

Maharani collection, May 2009. By Henry Wilson for Osborne & Little
Rose Chinoise, by Colefax and Fowler
* We also got inspired along the way of our weekend trip that took us to a few shops on the Designers' Walk of Toronto. For your viewing pleasure, check: Cole & Son; Brunschwig & Fils
Dagobert Peche, Antinous Wallpaper; Designed 1922, produced by Brunschwig and Fils. Neue Galerie exclusive.
* Not to forget the reference arts and crafts master, William Morris & co.

* And then we entered the world of contemporary wallpaper designers like Georgia Horton, Timorous Beasties, and Neisha Crosland. Dazzling!
