wallpapered furniture

Welcome to All in the Detail... I am so glad you are here!

I have been in love with these gorgeous wallpapered vintage furniture pieces by Bryonie Porter for quite some time and I thought it was time I share this love with you (let’s say a belated Valentine’s Day gift). Her work is a fabulous way to add a punch of print to any room.  I have been wondering lately if maybe I could make this a DIY project – image the possibilities for all that leftover wallpaper from our walls. I have a single roll of cheetah print wallpaper (found at a Thrift Store for $5.00) and an old nightstand on gorgeous legs (also from a Thrift Store for $5.00), hmmmmmm... I will keep you posted on that one!

Bryonie Porter creates beautiful, brilliantly patterned furniture for her clients. Using both antique and modern furniture, she customizes each piece with wallpaper. For durability, she uses a water-based, environmentally friendly, high-gloss lacquer, which makes these pieces perfect for the hard knocks of everyday living.

She started her business by covering pieces for herself and her family. She was dealing in antiques for a while before she started wallpapering, so she had access to a lot of great furniture, which made it very easy for her to find nice pieces to cover.

She admits that she has a few favorite papers… Cole & Son, Osborne & Little and Timorous Beasties' designs because they are so unusual.

Jazzing up sideboards, dressers, bookshelves and more, her method offers a solution to drab decorating. Instead of contrasting paint chips or eternally struggling to match those special shades of burgundy, her company wallpapers whimsical prints onto repurposed furniture.

The handcrafted pieces aren't just simple cut and paste jobs, but rather subtle and elegant pieces that dynamically engage simple furniture and enthusiastic prints. A black bureau with embossed black flowers elegantly boasts the clean lines of the piece.

Transforming discarded furniture, the one-of-a-kind pieces make an environmentally-conscious statement too. So any coffee table or bookcase can be revitalized and reformed through a method of applique.

Bryonie creates pieces using furniture that she finds herself, but she also does commissions using pieces that her clients give to her. I think this is a wonderful idea for updating a piece of furniture that has been passed down and has sentimental value.

Bryonie also carries a beautiful line of Children’s Furniture.  I just couldn’t show you ALL her wonderful pieces of  work, so I chose just a few with different patterns.

ENJOY!
