To the Sun.. part four

On this somewhat rainy of a day we went exploring through the hammock.  The Crane Point Museum and Nature Center.  An exploration filled with thatched palms, black mangroves, red mangroves and birds.

Today we head farther into the keys, finally making it to Key West.

Wallpaper Wednesday.. The Abstract

I've been dying to expand into something more abstract, less conventional.  It's something about walls that people are most afraid to try something bold and exciting.  When in reality, in my opinion, walls are the easiest element of the room to change that can make the greatest impact.  So step out of your comfort zone and try something crazy, you can always paint over it.

Below are inspirations I have found on Pinterest (these are not my creations).  Actually most of these are wallpapers but I am confident that I can create the same effect with paint!  I look at walls as a blank canvas to apply layers of paint, creating a unique masterpiece.

I love the abstractness of this turquoise wall, it's a unique spin on an ombre wall.  

This is such a great idea for a dining room.  It has an elegant boldness while keeping traditional elements.  The right color choice is always important to tone down a bold pattern.  Tiffany's blue and gold is always classy.

These line drawings are the closest to what I am currently doing.  It's subtle but striking.  It would be so fun to go onto a while wall with a permanent marker and just start drawing!

This is my all-time favorite wallpaper.  I would just love to be surrounded by giant banana leaves.  This wallpaper is pretty versatile and would work in many rooms.

This wall is something I want to leave you with.  I love nature and this is such a great idea!  It's a new and abstract way of thinking of what we can put on walls, but as crazy as it is there is a classyness to it.  This shade of green is very in right now!

Wallpaper Wednesday- leaves!

Today I wanted to introduce to you some of my leaf patterns.  All the patterns are versatile being turned into fabrics, wallcoverings, or hand painted directly onto the walls.  I experimented with different color ways and found that by changing one color, the same pattern had a much different feel.  The choice of color influences if the pattern will be bold or subtle.  Take a look through some of my patterns!

Pincherry, cream on light blue

Pachysandra, burnt orange on cream

Pachysandra, red on light orange red

Pachysandra, burnt orange on turquoise

Below is the Pachysandra design applied as a HandPainted wall treatment.  The HandPainted treatment is more organic and painterly, something that is hard to achieve with a wallpaper.  It can be customized to any interior in any color combination!

As you can see, all of the designs can be applied in any color.  Choose your favorite color combinations and for HandPainted choose your favorite paint colors.  I will make sure to match up the perfect color combination suitable for any room.

I hope you enjoyed these designs, there are more to come!  If you are interested in an original HandPainted wall treatment or wallpaper, please contact me at rebeccazerby@gmail.com or leave a comment, I would love to hear what you think!
