As I look at all the decor aspects of March, from Green to Whimsy I can't help but think of the Mushroom.......its sense of magic and wonder.
I noted in my Facebook blurb yesterday about the mushroom and how it can be added to your decor on many levels. From photo journalism style, a natural fresh photo addition to an entry, a species image in a kitchen, a vignette, or yes in the whimsy of a child's room. The above mushroom does remind me of fairy tales and probably the famous association of Alice and Wonderland. As a adult even now in the Jefferson Airplane reference.........of 'go ask Alice when she is ten feet tall!' So just not in age we can embrace the ever changing beauty in a variety of species of mushrooms, taste to touch - but we can also incorporate them into designs in our home through hardware, lighting, textiles, and yes truly always in wallpaper.

So as we grow from childhood whimsy, to adulthood embracing taste of life (food, clothes, places, and music) ........our senses grow to what we like and dislike. We then transition these qualities into making choices on how our personal space evolves. WHAT? I know its that struggle question too, of HOW is that possible? Well here are a few Mushroom accent pieces to bring some Magic to your home designs.........
