poppy in elle decor (thailand)

svärmor

on the heels of her highly successful "the family" wallpaper (which made my 2007 most influential designs list), lisa bengsston has now produced her second wallpaper called ”svärmor” {which means mother-in-law in swedish}. i spotted it this past week on design*sponge and instantly loved it. something for all the shoe lovers out there. why svärmor? according to lisa, "mother in law is also a happy family member".
