Yesterday's Burberry and country cottages have me in an Anglophile mood, so what could be more apropos than some cheeky English wallpaper? The brainchild of Turner Pocock--one of the UK's most innovative interior design firms--these papers put a spin on uppercrust British tradition. Quirky yet understated, playful yet posh, it's wallpaper you can build a room around. So I did!
I'm especially fond of the Ibis print shown here. The neutral tone-on-tone palette offers up endless decorating opportunities. Of course it lends itself to this cheeseball midcentury vibe, but I could just as easily see it in a girly romantic setting.
As a kid, I always placed last in the camp tennis tournament--very embarrassing--and I've been hanging my head in shame ever since. Could this racquet and ball wallpaper be my redemption? I might have a terrible backhand, but at least I can have a stylish entryway!

Oh darling, I have some scary tennis stories too. How about the time I was playing doubles, crouched at the net, when a ball flew right up my ass? Well, my partner mistook my bum for the ace she was trying to make on the other side of the net.
Don't worry a proud parent caught this on video. I had to watch it at our season-end banquet.
In sum, I'll keep to the daring gold lamp and red shade. That'll serve up happiness!

That's known that money makes people free. But what to do when one does not have cash? The one way is to get the personal loans and just short term loan.
