There was this great post on
Apartment Therapy's blog dedicated to transforming walls with a little imagination and a few good stencils. In the post the homeowner stenciled a beautiful silver forest onto her bedroom walls. When I was looking through the images I quickly recalled a wonderful Holiday window
Anthropologie rolled out several seasons ago. At the time we were inspired by the beauty of Birch trees and were highlighting them and their forms throughout our stores. In this windows we used stencils, contact paper, soft white paint and subtle pops of sparkle to create a winter forest overflowing with Birch tree silhouettes. It was simple and clean and I loved how the tiny details of bark and spindley branches created beautiful, graphic moments along the window panes. It really was spectacular.
I think this same splendor must have inspired the homeowner here- it is as if her walls are a snapshot of a forest at twilight and the trees are starting to sparkle under the setting sun. Absolutely pretty!
