DO YOU HAVE A MOTTO?Bridging the gap between commercial vinyl wall coverings and residential wallpaper.

WHERE DO YOU FEEL MOST AT HOME?In any décor that’s inspired by nature.

NAME Zen

BIRTHPL ACEI’m made in the U.S.A.

Harrison and Talisman wallpaper by Ronald Redding Designs

It was clear that a bloom boom was on the

way when Sarah Jessica Parker and

high-profile editors, including InStyle

fashion director Cindy Weber-Cleary,

wore florals to the Council of Fashion

Designers of America awards a few weeks

ago. This is not a “Steel Magnolias”-era

revival. For an of-the-moment look, try

abstract, blurred or — at the other extreme

— graphic or black-and-white motifs. Add a

tough edge with studded sandals, leather

or denim. For the CFDA event,

Weber-Cleary, who is in her 50s and meets

or exceeds the fashion editor quota of

black, wore what she describes as a

“blownout computer floral” dress by

Behnaz Sarafpour. “It was pink and yellow

and a crazy print, but it was a very modern

floral, as opposed to a sweet one, which is

why I felt I could get away with it.” Past a

girlish age, she said, “you don’t want that

baby cutesy daisy print.” But other

so-called rules are silly, she said, including

the idea that larger women should

avoid large prints. “Prints can be

the most forgiving thing because

they keep your eye moving,” she

said, “rather than solid black that

keeps you looking at the outline.”

Give us liberty and give us depth:

“Florals are perennial, they’re

always back for spring in one way

or another,” said Weber-Cleary.

“The Liberty floral print has had a

real pervasive influence. It’s all

over the place, everywhere from

the Gap up to the designer level.”

J. Crew’s pocket cardigan backs up

a crisp cotton vintage-inspired

Liberty print with soft cotton knit,

for a mixed texture that also

resonates this summer.

Cost: $110; J. Crew stores, 800-562-0258

Put the petal to the metal: Florals for

interiors can conjure up formal living

rooms that predate Suzanne Sugarbaker in

“Designing Women.” But a single floral

touch, contrasted with a harder edge, can

be the height of sophistication, as in this

corsage vintage brass lamp by Laura Kirar

for Arteriors Home, with a vintage brass

oval metal shade.

Cost: $1,199; arteriorshome.com

No shrinking violets: Swimwear always

provides safe harbor for oversize or

tropical prints, and Carlos Falchi’s new

Rio collection with the Avon brand Mark

produces a couple of fabulous and

affordable ones, including the one on this

Brazilian bikini with a surprisingly

flattering cut.

Cost: $22 each piece; meetmark.com

Perennial pleaser: A gem for all seasons,

this Miriam Haskell necklace is made of

Russian gold-plated filigrees hand-wired

with crystal rose montees and baroque

glass pearls with a braided chain strand.

It’s signed by Haskell.

Cost: $2,000; Miriamhaskell.com

The bold and the bountiful: Florals add a

pop of color that homeowners find easy to

live with, says Gina Shaw, vice president of

new product development for York

Wallcoverings. Some are soft, painterly

blooms while others are more stylized or

appear against boldly colored backgrounds

for dramatic effect.

Homeowners can have fun with ‘off-the-wall’ wallcoverings Cleveland Plain Dealer

August 21, 2010

Readership 800,000

Aspen Leaf RZ3273

Technology has entered all aspects of our

lives, even wallcoverings. Today it is

possible to buy wallcovering that is

magnetic, allowing a homeowner to hang

frameless prints or posters on the wall

with just magnets. Another kind of

wallpaper is UV-sensitive. It changes its

appearance depending upon the amount

of sunlight. Laser cutouts and multiple-

layered wallpapers are also being

introduced.

For the most part, the new off-the-wall,

on-the-wall paper is definitely a case of less

is more. An interior room papered

entirely in a dark “tree bark” would

probably be overwhelming. But a

powerful accent wall is an instant way to

change the entire look of a room and it

catches the eyes of buyers.

Technology has also allowed

designers and manufacturers

to add textures and elements

that were never used before.

We used to think that grass

cloth, leather-look-alike vinyl

and cork were exotic. Now

manufacturers are adding

sand, real leaves, fiber, seeds,

and other items to

wallcovering that not

only stays in tact but

is also washabale.

“People got away from

wallcovering with big

prints,” said Lisa Aiken,

owner of LMA Interior

Design in Hudson. “But

now there is great textured wallpaper

that can even be used in bathrooms.”

Aiken offers clients many choices of

wallcovering, including designs by York

Wallcoverings, a leader in textured and

specialty selections. The company’s

Vintage Jewel Collection includes patterns

that can stand alone or can be enhanced

with “Wall Jewels.” The Swarovski crystals

are sold separately, and homeowners can

incorporate as many as they want into

patterns that include Christie’s Trellis and

Iron Gate Trellis.

Ronald Redding, York Wallcoverings’ vice

president of design, has been a pioneer in

special effects. Redding has created ways

to mix metallic glitter into glass for “a

subtle sparkle.” He also layers metallic ink

over repurposed sand “to create a

dimensional quality that’s reminiscent

of authentic tin ceilings.”

Homeowners are still embracing

nature-inspired interior design, and York

Wallcoverings offers a number of fall

patterns that allow leaves and branches to

grow on your walls. The Aspen Leaf design

uses an oversized but subtle leaf to give a

room a perfectly soothing and airy feeling.

The washable, strippable, raised pattern is

suitable in traditional and contemporary

settings.

Allen-Kennedy Design of Fairview Park

also incorporates York Wallcoverings

into its work, and many Sherwin-

Williams stores in Northeast Ohio

carry the product. York Wallcoverings

is America’s oldest and largest

wallcovering manufacturer.

Christie’s Trellis in Silver Metallic (CA7565) and Gold Metallic (CA7567) shown with Golden Shadow (CA7620), Swarovski Crystallized Elements, from Vintage Jewel by The Carlisle Company.

Notices about new products come my way

virtually every week.

Some contain little that’s truly new: a

vacuum that’s now available in another

color. Others are useful but not very

exciting: new adhesives or coffee pots.

Others never even should have been sent

to New Orleans. Do you really want to

know the latest ways to seal your

nonexistent basement, or about new snow

blowers?

But every now and then, a few

wonderfully unusual examples rise to the

top. The ones I’ll tell you about this week

are perfectly usable, although arguably

practical, and collectively could add bling

to a wide range of home and garden

spaces.

Here, though, they’re just an upscale,

upsize take on Mardi Gras throws that’s

designed to stay in place year-round. Made

of stainless steel beads threaded on marine

line and finished with marine hardware,

they’re made to hold up even in our damp

climes.

Choose between long and short beads

-- just like at Mardi Gras -- to fit your

favorite tree. Send its diameter

measurement to the Tree Jewelry folks,

and then choose from the styles offered on

their website, www.treejewelry.net.

They’ll create a one-of-a-kind bangle in the

right dimensions to fit your needs. The

California company also offers some styles

that feature faux jewels handcrafted from

high-density sculpting foam, hand-tinted

with all-weather paints and then given a

protective coating.

Prices range from $295 to $2,000. Allow

six to eight weeks for delivery.

High-design bling: Aimed at those who

love the “subtle glow of candlelight or the

flicker of light in a mirror, “ York

Wallcoverings designers give us some truly

lovely wallpaper designs punctuated with

Swarovski crystals.

They offer “patterns that lend themselves

to a little sparkle -- the center of a

medallion, a delicate flower petal -- and

their less-is-more approach with the

crystals renders their radiance as endlessly

mesmerizing as a glittering jewel.” Cost is

$70 per roll.

Or, you can get creative with Wall Jewels,

Swarovski crystals sold separately to put

where you want, although the website

photos (www.yorkwall.com) show them on

various York patterns.

Very elegant, very formal.

When it comes to kids’ rooms, the space

amounts to much more than four walls

with a bed. We’re talking about bedrooms

that are designed to stir up sweet dreams

of beautiful butterfly gardens, sports

arenas, and enchanted forests filled with

lots of friendly animals. Of course, be

prepared for your future astronaut,

that can last and transform to fit different

needs, for example, a crib that converts

into a full-size bed. We’ve also gathered

accompany these precious pieces.

“When decorating with ‘wall pops’ and

‘wall decals,’ children can constantly

rearrange their rooms, since the decals are

repositionable. As interests changes with

age, they can easily change the theme of

their rooms,” says Larry Miller, Owner,

M.A. Baskind. Right now, he says kids are

loving animal prints, sports motifs, and

nature and floral-themed wallpaper.

SAFTEY FIRST

–Invest in pieces that are durable and well

made — children are generally not easy on

furniture.

–Get ‘No Tip Kits,’ especially for larger

and taller items, which mount between

the wall and furniture.

–Old, drop-side cribs do not comply with

current safety standards. Invest in a new,

convertible crib with a stationary front.

Sky’s the limit for nursery walls

When it comes to options for decorating

your nursery walls, the sky’s the limit — or

at least the ceiling is. Parents paint, use

wallpaper, apply stickers and/or create

murals.

Safe Paint

If you decide to paint,choose a product

that limits the amount of VOCs released.

VOC stands for “volatile organic

compounds.” In paint, these take the

form of vapors emitted while it is being

applied and even after it has dried.

According to the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA), VOCs can

trigger eye, nose and throat irritations,

headaches, nausea and a loss of

coordination. Significant exposure may

even lead to problems with the kidneys,

liver and central nervous system.

Your baby’s developing body is delicate,

and susceptible to harmful toxins before

and after birth. Use safer paints to help

ensure a healthy environment in the

nursery.

You’ll find many low- and zero-VOC

products on the market, as well as natural

paints that use water instead of petroleum.

Some can only be ordered online, while

the following brands are widely sold in

stores:

Low-VOC Paints:

* Benjamin Moore Aura and ben

* Farrow & Ball Zero-VOC Paints:

* Benjamin Moore Natura

* Olympic Premium Paint

* Harmony by Sherwin-Williams

Eagle Paint & Wallpaper Co., Englewood

(eaglepaintandwallpaper.com) carries

low- and zero-VOC Benjamin Moore

paints and low-VOC Farrow & Ball paints.

Store associate Karen Lally said Benjamin

Moore paint is particularly user-friendly

—”With its new waterborne technology,

it’s easy to apply, has a quicker dry time,

requires fewer coats and has low-odor/

low-VOC, making it ideal for a child’s

room.”

Lally noted that Benjamin Moore also

makes non-toxic chalkboard paint. “Studio

Finishes Chalkboard Paint is a durable top

coat that turns any interior surface into a

chalkboard,” she said.

Original Murals

If you want more complex paint effects,

artists from Bellini Baby & Teen

Furniture in Paramus (bellini.com) can

transform an entire wall into a mural on

any theme.

“We have two artists on staff with a great

portfolio of work,” said store manager

Erik Lamb. “They paint the most amazing

jungle scenes and princess and castle

backgrounds.”

He said most people have just one or two

walls done but all the walls can be painted

if the customer chooses. “Our artists can

incorporate the paintings from the wall

onto the nursery furniture, so everything

is pulled together,” Lamb said.

Sky’s the limit for nursery walls

Animal Silhouettes




Bergen Record, continued

Wallpaper

As an alternative, wallpaper the nursery.

“A basic vinyl-coated paper is relatively

easy to apply using the manufacturer’s

instructions, but with natural textiles

(grass cloth or silks), we recommend using

a professional paperhanger,” Lally said.

Many wallpaper designs today feature

kid-friendly nature and jungle themes.

“For girls, sophisticated styles such as

damasks or pretty stripes are popular,”

said Lally. “For boys, theme-oriented

papers such as sports or animals are

popular.”

Eagle Paint carries mid-priced children’s

wallpaper designs by York, Seabrook and

Brewster and higher-end products from

Anna French, Designers Guild, Osborne

and Little and Romo, Inc.

Stickers

Wall stickers can be removed and

repo-sitioned, making them a good choice

for parents who like to move the furniture

around and need the wall décor to move

with it. Stickers also can be easily removed

or changed as the child grows.

Popular nursery stickers include numbers,

letters and all types of animals. Other

themes include:

* Cartoon characters

* Glow-in-the-dark, celestial images

* Growth charts

* Chalk decals that can be written on and

wiped clean

“We carry a large assortment of

peel-and-stick, decal-style stickers, ranging

from children’s patterns of stripes and

circles to more formal scrolls and

damasks,” said Lally. “We also carry

murals in children’s styles.”

Mural manufacturers include Komar,

Ideal Décor and Environmental Graphics.

Wallies, and wallpaper companies such as

York and Brewster, offer stick-ons.
