Still interested in wallpaper? How about Cole and Son? They have a reasonable substitute for Sherlock's palm frond walls. This image of Kate Spade's shop I found at stylebeat.blogspot.com

I just finished watching the first season of the BBC's modern retelling of Sherlock Holmes. The series opens with Watson, lost in a drab, overly bright world of endless concrete. Once he meets Sherlock, however, he finds himself in a darker more exciting place. Every nook and cranny, backed with wonderful, gaudy wallpaper.

In this scene, a bored Sherlock makes target practice of a smiley face painted on the wall. Holmes, "Do you have to take in out on the wallpaper?" Sherlock, "The wallpaper had it coming."


A ghostly forest for the suicidal pink lady.




Even the bad guys get fun backdrops.

A few images from http://www.periodarchitecture.com/ Clay Chapman's website. This firm does structure masonry and timber framing. My romantic heart delights.
