Red stripes

I was browsing through Carl Bengtsson's photography and couldn't keep my eye off this image.

The stripes reminded me of the wallpaper Catherine Martin used in her child's bedroom so I dusted off my old issue of Home Beautiful and browsed through Catherine's beautiful home again.

This is the bedroom I am referring to which also inspired me to use her circus wallpaper in Robert's room. It was nice to see it again.

While I'm seeing red stripes, here are a few other ways of using them in your home aside from walls:

Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the last few days of October.
