Stu-stu-studio Wall Plans

Marimekko Unikko wallpaper; Walnut Wallpaper

Hi. Still here. Work has been a little nuts the last few weeks, but I've missed this little forum for wishful thinking/documenting our progress at the house. File this one under "Thinking, Wishful":

We've managed to put up some cork wallpaper on the big blank wall in the stu-stu-studio: picture soon... right now the stu-stu-studio is also serving as a storage room for things that would be in the dining room, if Sean hadn't moved everything out of the dining room to rip up it's carpet. (We're kind of a mess right now.) Anyway, I've been thinking about what to do with the other three walls...

Original thought was just to paint them a clean, pretty white: good backdrop for a kooky assortment of art. Then I thought I might embark on another painting project: a kind of abstract owl pattern (again, too lazy to post a picture). THEN, I thought, "why not some nutso, giant-repeat wallpaper?" And if one is going to go whole hog with a loud wallpaper pattern, shouldn't it be one's all-time favorite floral, Maija Isola's "Unikko" for Marimekko?

Well, sure.

Thing is, it's expensive, and I'm in no position to justify it right now. So I'll either wait until I can, or think of something I can paint. And I can always paint now, wallpaper later. Even though I really wanna wallpaper now.
