Want!

I'm rather besotted with this lovely wallpaper and fabric made my Lewis & Wood. Isn't it fabulous?! These aren't any old boats you know, these are boats drawn by my favourite marine artist JT Serres. (Who also happens to occasionally appear in fanfic around these parts.) The design is taken from the Liber Nauticus, and Instructor in the Art of Marine Drawing which was published by JT Serres and his father Dominic Serres in 1805. The instructor was originally intended for JT Serres' students at Chelsea Naval School.

The only thing stopping me from redecorating my house with this lovely print is the price. The wallpaper costs a cool £66 pounds per role and the fabric is £53 per metre. Eep!

I am sure that most of the people who buy that wallpaper just like the pretty ships, and don't know any more than that. Seems like there should be a discount for Serres appreciators.

Do you think if I sent them some Serres fanfic they'd give me a discount? ;)

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

I think if you sent them a Serres fic, they should spot you the wallpaper and hang it for you!

Cool. What did we say about getting rich one day? *sighs* Is there a slight chance to get rich with fanfics??? :)

EL James seems to have managed it! XD

so pretty!

Thought this might appeal to you!

Providing the fan fic gambit doesn't work, one could always use just a smidgeon of it and decorate a single corner or alcove of a larger room.

Shame I decorated the bathroom last year, this would have been perfect on one wall!

[eglantine-br.livejournal.com]

I thought that too. Maybe a small section of wall somewhere?

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've been trying to think of an appropriate wall space for this!

Ooh, that's nice!

...Ouch.

But that's a most useful link. I even might have a go at cutting stencils of those ships and making my own cushion covers. For my home. Alas, I have no beach house to furnish thusly.
