Allow to me to rave a bit about a great little wall decor find I stumbled upon a few months ago.

I am particularly drawn to bold, horizontal stripes but there is also something soothing about a light, barely there, wall stripe. Ah, decisions decisions. While I’m daydreaming about color, width and orientation, check out these great stripe-y wall examples and maybe you’ll develop some stripe envy of your own. Continue reading →
