Many years ago my mother-in-law bought a new sweater, she told us she had been drawn to the pretty colours and the unusal design which covered three quarters of the sweater. We admired the colour and the fit of the sweater but nobody in the family had the heart to tell her that the unusual design she so admired was actually a repeat pattern of a shark with its jaws open to a quite phenomenal extent. She wore that sweater quite a lot and it pretty much became the "shark in the room". I was reminded about that sweater when I first looked at this wallpaper by Barneby Gates. I mean you would think that the fact that it's called Deer Damask would have been a huge clue! Anyway , just like my mother-in-law, I loved the colour and the design, the duck egg blue and gold is so soothing and the claret and gold is so classic. Obviously on closer inspection I saw that the design was made up of a thistle and a deer scull but do you know what, I still like it It's a really classy, clever take on an old classic What do you think?
PS. We still think of Granny's shark sweater with a certain fondness, if not admiration.
I think it's really cool, the pinkish-red tone with gold probably looks amazing on a wall. But where can you ACTUALLY put a wallpaper like that ?!

love it anyways ^^

I know what you mean it does look stunning but maybe only on one wall of a dining room or maybe a hallway.
