Claire Coles Inspiration

Posted on | August 8, 2008 | 1 Comment

I am about to pack up the car and head up to the house in Marblehead for the weekend. We have to tackle a leaky roof and some backed up pipes. The toilet on the first floor backs up with water when we take a shower on the second floor. Joy!

Before we go I thought I would share some wallpaper I saw at ICFF that I’m inspired by. Claire Coles is a UK artist that designs wallpaper, ceramics, and accessories. I’ve been wanting to pick a wallpaper for our front entry but I just can’t decide. I don’t know if I have found “the one” quite yet. What if I painted it myself? I did go to school for textile design. I could do it! At least I think I can. I love the colors in Claire’s work. Blues, reds, and golden yellows are a great combo. Maybe I could stamp an allover design like Claire’s on the walls first. Now I’m thinking! Check out more of Claire’s work: clairecolesdesign.co.uk.
