I’m having trouble transitioning from holiday vacation mode to the real world, plus I only got four hours of sleep last night (thanks, Ike). So rather than attempting a coherent post, I’m just going to go for a rambling crazy stalker post. Sound good? I thought so, too. But then again, sleep deprivation can make many bad ideas sound delightful — like mopping your floor at 5am, or drinking copious amounts of coffee just before bedtime. I also find myself frequently mixing up the freezer and the microwave which has been rather hard on the ice cream, but I digress.
I am obsessed with Princes and Crows wallpaper, in particular the Little Prince papers created for kids’ rooms.
How awesome is Major Tom? He’s flying to the moon in a cloud of… mushrooms. Ahem.
Lots of the Princes and Crows papers are printed on foil backgrounds so samples are a necessity. I ordered some for Ike’s room and I can’t wait to see them in person — I hope that Major Tom is as glorious a Klein Blue as he looks in the first picture.
I also ordered some samples of Sea Ballet in gold and silver foil. Not sure what I would do with these, but I could imagine them as framed panels, kind of like a Zuber panorama.
The grown up line of wallpapers is equally lovely, and can be seen in the home of Princes and Crows owner, Alix Soubiran.
“Enchanted Gypsy” is featured in her living room. Sexxxy gold foil. Mmmm hmmm.
The boldly striped “French Room” lends casual elegance to a bedroom.
In my next house, I want “Santy Ano” on my ceiling, or maybe as a plexi covered backsplash. Golden goodness.
I’ll keep you updated on my samples. I hope they get here soon. Like yesterday. I’m really not very patient when I’m tired.

I’m never patient, tired or otherwise. These are great. I love Major Tom and his flying menagerie.
p.s.-I also have dreams of a papered, plexi-covered backsplash.
Gorge!
As a sidenote: my high school French class read Le Petit Prince and I could not for the life of me figure out what a baobab tree was. Whenever I think of the book, I think of baobab trees and thinking “WTF do those look like?” Rest assured that south Florida was swimming in them so I totally know now!
I absolutely love pictoral wallpapers (that’s not the right word, is it? Oh well). Having children seems to be the perfect excuse to indulge in them. If I was a kid, I’d be so fascinated by these — the only problem is that I’d outgrow them way too fast. Sigh. But that’s why just framing the panels makes so much sense.
That Klein blue is amazing.
(By the way, how is the house hunting?)
Enchanted gypsy (if you have ever seen a gypsy in France or Spain….FAR from enchanted!!!) Still, I love the wallpaper! I wonder if they will ship to me down yonder?
Oh my gosh — I LOVE this post. You’ve satisfied my deepest pattern craving. And I have a new object of desire: Sea Ballet. Gorgeous. I want it in silver for a bathroom. Yes, gorgeous. Can’t wait to go to the website. Thank you!!
Yay! I am in love with these papers — glad you are, too.
