Sunday Inspiration - Gold Chevron

This gorgeous gold chevron table wrapping paper comes in 50 foot rolls (20" wide) from Paper Source for $29.95. Wallpaper? Covering tops of Ikea Lack side tables? Shelf liner? Backs of shelves? Place mats? Any thoughts? They suggest it for table runners for weddings, but I just know there are some interior design uses for this. I just wish it were a bit wider - I would use it for the backs of my built in bookcases.

Pagoda Bamboo Paper

This beautiful bamboo paper with pagodas is available at Smock. Gorgeous for gift wrapping, or perhaps framing, lining drawers, or another clever use.

Chinoiserie Gift Wrap

Let me be the first to say that while I love gifts that have been beautifully wrapped by the gift giver, my heart does race at a gift wrapped in Tiffany blue, Hermes orange, or Thomas Pink pink. But when it comes to gorgeous papers to wrap gifts myself, my personal favorite is the collection of handmade Japanese papers at the Paper Source. Check them all out here. A great hint-these are wonderful framed. The photo below shows three I did in $4.00 frames from Michael's for my daughter's apartment. This was one of my five budget decorating tips featured on Domino's website.
