The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favourite movies - I watched it again a few days ago and was struck by how lovely their home is, in a dilapidated & broken-down way. It reminds me of the home in Nanny McPhee - bright & colourful, but with a sad story hanging over. Like an old doll-house.
I particularly love the furnishing & wallpaper of the house. This is just a simple damask, but it gives such an air of opulence - martinis plus an Indian man as a servant give it, for better or worse, a wealthy colonial India feel.
In case you haven't seen The Royal Tenenbaums I have just included some images from the first 5 minutes or so - but if you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?
I particularly love this image - it's just so indulgent! Why be outside when you can be inside, with jungle wallpaper, surrounded by people making you pretty?
This beautiful
zebra wallpaper is by Scalamandre - to me it's so sophisticated for a kids room, but I love the bold red, and I wish I could have this somewhere in my house!
You can see more photos of
this wallpaper on Duchess Fare!
This isn't actually wallpaper, but hundreds of tiny little paintings. I love this! It's like having a storybook drawn all over your walls.
Go watch it!
I absolutely love Sandra Eterovic's artwork, so I was thrilled to see this studio visit on the Craft Victoria blog - go check it out! You won't regret it!
Aren't these the most adorable cushions ever? And I can brag about them because my mum (Pocket Mum?) made them! She's a great quilter, and SUCH a neater sewer than I am, and she's so supportive of Pocket Carnival (she possibly owns more Pocket Carnival fabric than me!)
This side is meant to be the front, but I personally love the little bow ties Pocket Mum has used instead of a zip, so to me they will always be the front!

Hello! Hope you're all well, and not-too-chilly! I realised I'd forgotten to introduce the new Pocket Carnival card series - talking animals!
There are currently 5 cards in the range, however just this morning I've been finishing some new illustrations, so watch out!
My favourite is the Piggie (pictured top), but the cards all were inspired by this cat, which is a part of my kittens coinpurse and pencilcase fabric.

Aside from having two of the most adorable little girls ever (seriously, check her blog), Leslie runs Onegirl Designwrks - she's the designer & maker of some of the most adorable kids things ever.
