Wallpaper gets unbelievably cool. No really. Why are you laughing?
In the '70's my mom went absolutely berserk with wallpaper. It was everywhere; the walls, the ceilings, even the inside of our kitchen cabinets. Then, for a long time, wallpaper was considered very dated. Well guess what, baby, it's back with a vengeance! And it's cool. I swear.  The Mini Moderns wallpaper collection features vintage meets modern graphics that are a completely hip and simple way to turn your kid's room into a space with atmosphere.

The collection features really lovely color combinations like Battery Square (shown) that's powder blue and light gray. The graphics are dynamic without being "Oh my God this is giving me a headache." All the designs are created by London based design company Absolute Zero Degrees, who not only bring their whimsical ideas to all their textiles (check out their rugs, tote bags, and even china), but they insist that they only work with local UK companies, both to support local businesses and make sure they are manufactured in a sweatshop free environment. Wait 'til I tell my mom!--Betsy
