CreateGirl: local designer

Finding local designers is part of what I love about decorating and blogging in New England! Nama Rococo is just one of those creative artists I am proud to be in the same state with. The name "Nama" stands for North Adams MA when Karen Combs began her career. The paper is hand printed and hand screened.....stop, read that again...amazing! The designs are gorgeous but what I want to focus on today are the single sheets they sell. The idea of owning a unique piece of wallpaper used as art is so appealing. Her prints are so intricate that I think I like them on a smaller scale as I can quite possible appreciate the detail even more. Yes a single piece is on the pricey side at $126 but the best part, it's "ART" so you can take it with you when you move!

Do you consider wallpaper as art work? Would you do this in your own home?

Since Memorial Day is just a few days away I thought I would share this sweet Nantucket Cottage with you. Every inch of the 600 ft sq cottage is bursting with color; Turquoise, Sharp Tangerines, Grass Greens and Sunlite Yellows! This is not a common occurrence for a Nantucket home, which makes this small space even more unique. The strong colors become an interesting contrast to the serene landscape you see out the windows. I love the accents interior designer, Deborah Timmermann added, every single piece has a purpose which maximizes the space. She has created a house with a joyous, comfortable feeling, a place I would want to spend a nice long weekend! Enjoy the tour!
