secondhand rose

i love when i hear about stores in my own town that i've never visited. lucky magazine had a brief mention of secondhand rose in this month's issue, so i cruised on by their site for further investigation. their collection is pure wall-candy. they have the most fantastic collection of vintage wallpaper around.

secondhand rose carries a great collection of vintage wallpaper that is perfect for those looking for a way to add a little color and pattern to their home. while most of the patterns would be overhwhelming used on a whole room, i think all of them would look fabulous used in small sections: lining a closet (i hate colorless closets) or jewelry box, small squares used to make other pieces in a room pop and even bits for framing would be perfect. these patterns are definitely not for the faint of heart (some of them are a bit icky, but a ton are perfect for quirky apartment projects), but i'm sure they'll make someone giddy with wallpaper happiness. be sure to check out their mylar collection- it's gorgeous. more info on secondhand rose right here (pricing isn't on the site, but i'm betting there are affordable pieces available, as lucky doesn't tend to cover anything too ridiculously expensive. also, if you buy small pieces, most things are within reach.)
