inke heiland’s safari silhouettes

I simply adore Dutch designer Inke Heiland’s fun and funky alternative to mass-produced wall decals. Cut from retro-fabulous vintage wallpaper, Inke’s silhouettes of everything from Ostriches to Orangutans present a safari of sophisticated options for dressing up a kid-friendly space. And, with tons of wallpaper patterns and colourways to choose from, you’ll always find something that’ll work within your existing decor.

Look out! There’s something behind you…

Check out those deliciously vintage prints! (The Birds are my absolute fave, and are among the most inexpensive in the collection, running about $32 for a set of two 19cm x 27cm silhouettes.)

Inke’s collection of wallpaper wildlife continues to grow, with the recent addition of a new Baby Elephant silhouette.

There’s something about truly original, one-of-a-kind items that really make you feel good about your home. And that’s why I love etsy.com. Without fail, I’m amazed at the beautiful things people are making and selling (all at can’t beat ‘em prices) online.

An instant makeover doesn’t have to cost a bundle of money or consume hours of your time. Stampin’ Up has added new products to their Decor Elements collection and I just love their wall decals. These removable applications (like the one pictured above) are easy to use and are available in 140 different styles, just to suit your own personal taste. If you’re a bit of a commitment-phobe, this is the perfect way to test a look out at home without being stuck with it for years. When you’re ready to change things up again, simply remove the applications or replace them with new ones. Best of all, these applications aren’t just for walls. Get creative and try them on any hard surface like mirrors, cupboards, lampshades or picture frames. Pictured above is the Manhattan Flowers design from the Fall 2009 collection, which is fresh and exciting without being too over-the-top. Instant style! For more information, visit stampinup.com.
