Pin of the day: Wall murals

I have to say I am a total sucker for a wall mural.  I love that it's just there in all its huge glory.  I'd love to do one myself but I don't think I could handle the pressure of seeing it everyday and picking out the imperfections as I'm want to do with my own art work.  It truly is a curse.  

I love this interior wall mural of an exterior scene.  It totally brightens up the room and gives an impression of a bigger space.  Modern and chic, I'd have this in my house definitely.

This dark and broody mural is stealing my heart.  It is my style completely.  In fact I might have to just bite the bullet and and get my paints out.  It doesn't hurt that the green sofa and cushions are to die for.

Could an image be more dreamy?  The blue and white sky theme is a bit dated but this version using blue/grey totally hit the spot.  Can you imagine waking up to this every day?  It would certainly bring a smile to my face.

There is so much diversity when it comes to wall murals, as it is with art.  A mural in your home is a talking point, a focal point and it kicks wallpapers ass.

Café Français

Today I found a wonderfully designed restaurant/cafe I'd like to share.  You don't have to take my word for how beautiful it is, get a load of these pictures

The first thought that comes to my mind is that it looks like a super stylish American diner.  An American diner as if it were styled by Chanel.  So chic.  The red leather seating looks so juicy and ripe.

The red, blue and gold are perfectly dramatic and luxurious.

The round rooms and seating are offset by the geometric flooring patterns, mirrors and lighting.

And don't you just love the whimsical sky ceiling that brightens up the space making it feel carefree.

Artistic design of the space is by veteran Thierry collaborators, India Mahdavi, and Mathias Augustyniak and Michaël Amzalag of M/M (Paris) Studio.  Click the images for the source.
