Michael and I recently watched the HBO miniseries, Olive Kitteridge, and after seeing the toile wallpaper from the opening credits we found ourselves on a search for a similar nautical toile paper for our own home. Ever since shooting some projects for Furbish a few years ago, I’ve been wanting to incorporate wallpaper into our home, but Michael was always on the fence about it until our stay at Nebo Lodge, where more than a few rooms are given an extra dose of character thanks, in large part, to their various wallpapers.
Just like I did with our bathroom update from the spring, I thought it would be fun to share some wallpaper inspiration from our travels. From the floral print in a guest room at The Greenbrier (pictured above) to the whimsical hot air balloons in the stairway of the Saint James in Paris, these wallpapers inject a sense of personality and fun into their spaces.

Beautiful! I love wallpaper!
Oh gosh, you’re speaking my language. Not being able to wallpaper all these years has been slowly killing me as a renter. If you’re looking for nautical toile, you night want to check out Cape Cod interior designer Joan Peters: http://www.joanpeters.com/. She has some fantastic papers. Sadly no Maine toile, though! xx
Ooh, that top floral is awesome!! Such a fun idea for a post :)
