osborn & little

some pretty nature inspired wallpapers from the collections of osborne & little. The new apartment has a long rather dark hallway exacerbated by the "security measures" put to use by the landlord. that is, they bolted a piece of plywood to the back of the front door (which, like most san francisco apartments is a wood framed door with two rows of glass panes). it means that no light comes in from the hall making it feel a bit cramped. 

ive been brainstorming a way to bring interest and lightness to this area and perhaps a bit of wallpaper, just on the back of the door, would do nicely - 

 

i think that these wallpapers with their slight metalic sheen would nicely reflect light from one end of the hall to the other. Part of me would love to paper the entire corridor. i have explored "renter's wallpaper" but im afraid because the wall is already heavily textured. I think a panel of paper on the door combined with a new paint job might just do the trick~
