WALLCOVERINGS

Wallcoverings are becoming very popular again.  They are now making all kinds of patterns, textures, and colors.  The wallcoverings can go from subtle to bold in the color and pattern.  I've recently found several websites that have wallcoverings.  MissPrint creates modern wallpaper designs in PEFC certified paper - that promotes the sustainable management of forests - that are manufactured in the UK. Their wallpapers use organic pigment inks that are naturally toxic-free, contain no heavy metals, and are non-carcinogenic.

Weitzner Limited is another wallcovering website I found and they do some very interesting things with old newspapers.  “Using an age-old technology of upcycling old newspapers, 100% real newsprint strips are handwoven on a loom and then paperbacked to make Newsworthy suitable for the wall. A wonderful, tactile alternative to an expected grasscloth. From a distance, Newsworthy is a striated gray field of subtle colors similar to a natural fiber wallcovering. Up close, its true nature becomes apparent, showing off text of all styles and scales as well as splashes of color from the images. The manufacturing method of Newsworthy makes the daily news elegant, structured and fit for any wall".  Here are some of the newspaper wallcoverings.  

DOORS!

I found a really cool website the other day and they sell doors!  I know what you're all thinking, "how can door be so exciting?"  Well, these are not your typical everyday ordinary doors.  Check out this website http://www.foaporte.it/.  Some of my favorite doors are the sliding doors.  When I was on my internship, I was able to visit one of the job sites,  the office in the condo had a sliding door.  The first time I saw it I was intrigued.  It looked so amazing!  Here are a few of my favorites from the website.  

I really love the fact that this company that makes these doors have different options with patterns and colors. I also really loved the pocket doors.  They used to be more popular years ago.  I remember my grandparents house having two pocket doors and when I was a kid I loved playing with them.  They not only look cool, they are also very functional.  I like that these doors slide into the wall and then they aren't in the way and you don't have to every worry about hitting something as you are opening the door.  Here are some of my favorite pictures of those.
