Being a new home owner I’ve caught the reno and decorating bug pretty bad, and although we’re working on a very limited budget (which has still allowed us to do amazing things) it’s always nice to dream bigger than life. But i suddenly find myself pouring over the house and renovation mags in the grocery line, scanning for ideas. Most mags have let me down in that they all seem too polished with houses looking a bit unlived in. But my husband and I finally found a mag that seemed to fit our aesthetic. Dwell is not only a great mag, but has a nice website too. Check out this piece by Agape Design. I’d have a hard time washing my dirty clay filled hands in this one.

And this bookshelf by BlankBlank is so wickedly clever. The piece is called Religion and the books on the shelf are copies of the main texts of the major world religions.

This wallpaper though is the kicker! I would so have some of this in my house if I could afford it. Maybe not a whole room though, just a bit for an accent.

You can find it here and it’s by designers Sofie Eliasson and Matt Duckett.
