Inspirational wallpaper, rug, and textile patterns from the father of arts and crafts, William Morris

Just a tiny blurb about William Morris from Wikipedia:
"William Morris (24 March 1834 – 3 October 1896) was an English architect, furniture and textile designer, artist, writer,socialist and Marxist associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and the English Arts and Crafts Movement."

If you're not familiar with his work I'm sure you'll love it. His patterns are meant not to display geometric genius, but to honor nature. "He did not see the merits of a wholly geometrically inspired design and remained convinced through most of his life that nature was the only solution to a good design." - via The Textile Blog"


I love seeing work in progress

Fantasy-inspiring interiors from BNO Design

Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz is a cutting edge interior designer of our time, and a big influence in the field. Anyone who knows me will know why I like his interiors--they are white! In fact, his whole New York City apartment is white. I could do without all the furs, but the shag carpets are lovely!
