Ella Doran for Habitat

If you’re a fan of Ella Doran‘s colourful photographic accessories, you’ll love her new range for Habitat. She’s photographed vintage china plates and decorated melamine picnicware, cake stands and cushions with the pretty pictures…

Ella’s also designed some cute children’s picnicware. Grrr…

If you like the look of this, it’s due in store at Habitat spring 2011. – Ellie

NEW wallpapers to drool over

Our post about the wonderful Studio Nommo papers a few weeks back proved extremely popular and got picked up by loads of other lovely people on t’internet with exceedingly good taste, creating a veritable network of wallpaper addicts all around the globe. SO I thought we’d have another little wallpaper love sesh today…

These stunners are new designs from Netherlands-based Studio Ditte (famous for their Scrapwood design), stocked in the UK at Catkin Collection. This vintage plate one reminds me of that fabulous wrapping paper I picked up at Oliver Bonas a few weeks back – LOVE it.

Imagine this cute birdy paper in a child’s bedroom…you could even hang a few real bird boxes painted in bright colours on the opposite wall for a fun touch.

This Russian-style ribbons wallpaper is perfect for this year’s huge Folk revival. Such vibrant colours!

And let’s finish with a peek at another new Studio Ditte design – buttons…

So many papers in the world, and not enough alcoves. SIGH. – Ellie
