Have you ever encountered the work of Porter Teleo?  Started by Artist Kelly Porter and Interior Designer Bridgette Cochran, this line of hand-printed fabrics and wall-coverings is seriously swoon-worthy.  Created using fine art processes such as wood-blocking, painting and a pasting/printing method called chine colle, the designs are in a word BOLD.  Think Kelly Wearstler BOLD (in fact, she is a major fan!).

Awesome, right?  The beauty is really in the installations, however.  The scale is just huge (in the best possible way)….

I know, I know….not your mother’s wallpaper.  I don’t know that I could convince my husband to cover our dining room in one of these larger-scale in your face did-you-see-alana-and-gregs-crazy-wallpaper patterns….but man, if it was in our budget, I’d try my hardest!  Note: hand-painted wallpaper doesn’t come cheap!

Could you see the work of Porter Teleo incorporated into your home?
