Found It! The Real World: DC Wallpaper
Watching the trailer for The Real World: DC a few weeks ago, I spotted this cool yellow damask wallpaper. It looked familiar to me, but I couldn't remember from where. Eventually, I stumbled across it, and as it turned out, it's made by one of my favorite wallpaper companies!
Desire/Acquire: Lotus Rug
Available in four versatile colors, in a damask pattern that's very à la mode, the Ballard Designs Lotus Rug ($180-900) seems like one that would appeal to a lot of you. I personally really like the gray one! But before you pull out that credit card, let me guide you to a shop that sells the same rug at a more affordable price — with $5 shipping.
Get the Look: Red Gossip Girl Room
In last night's episode of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively and Tyra Banks got cozy in their silk robes on a red velvet settee. The showstopping piece certainly makes the room, but the matching red damask wallpaper and blue velvet curtains continue the baroque theme throughout the room. Then, accents like the black and white embroidered pillows, brass bird wall sculpture, and rope tassels add another element of luxurious detailing.
Midday Muse: Damask in Blooms
I love damask patterns, whether they're woven into a beautiful throw or papered onto a wall. They're often feature flowers, fruit, or animal life, but have you ever heard of a damask pattern that's composed of flowers? Well, that's exactly, what Manchester, England, artist Jo Vickers did when she created a flower installation in a damask pattern.
Steal of the Day: Thornback & Peel Flower Throw Pillow
If you didn't find your flocking in my Flocked, Not Wallpaper Roundup, then you can do so now with the Thornback & Peel Flower Throw Pillow ($75, reduced from $125). Available in red or gunmetal, this hand-flocked throw will help you get your damask on in the boudoir or the salon. These silk beauties will add texture and glamour to any room.
Cool Idea: A Damask Makeover
Melissa from Sugar City Journal recently made a small change to her staircase that carries a huge visual impact. She scanned a damask fabric into the computer, then digitally enhanced it in PhotoShop. After printing the pattern on paper, she glued the sheets together, laminated them, and then used Modgepodge to glue them to her stairs.
Crave Worthy: Nicolette Brunklaus Large Delight Shade
Rose and Radish put it precisely when they wrote, "Sometimes you need a lamp shade that is both understated and extremely eye-catching." The Nicolette Brunklaus Large Delight Shade ($797) is both of those things, and oh so much more. It's also evidence of the growing flocking trend, as well as playful, modern, and elegant.
Steal of the Day: The Company Store Elia Rug
If my recent roundup has you itching for some flocking, I'm here to ease your pain. The Company Store Elia Rug ($69-$382) has the look of rich damask flocking, without the heavy price tag. You can get yours in blue, chocolate, green, or natural, but I'd suggest steering clear of the cotton-candy blue, so you don't overdo it.

Desire/Acquire: Horchow Damask Headboard
The Horchow Damask Headboard ($849 for the king size) is named for its fabric's floral pattern, but it's the ruched trim and lovely curved top that truly make me swoon. Unfortunately, it's a little out of my price range. Luckily, there's a much more affordable alternative.
