I Bought Some Schumacher Wallpapers

Continuing my trade secrets theme, I picked up a select handful of high end Schumacher wallpapers. I picked up a good mix of designs, a few came from the now defunct Williamsburg Collection- those being two color ways of The Aviary (Indigo and Moss) and two color ways of Jones Toile (Black and Brown). I picked up a tropical striped toile paper called Child's Play. The pattern was so sophisticated and festive that I didn't even recognize it as a children's pattern. However, my two favorites are these:

 

Colombes et Sanglier Wallpaper by Schumacher 

and

La Fete Champetre Wallpaper

La Fete Champetre is about the most detailed toile print I have ever come across. It features a huge sweeping 36" vertical repeat and depicts a towering water fountain, immersive vegetal features, and playful theatrical motifs. This paper would be so excquisite done up on a wall that I should make it a requirement that the designer or do-it-yourselfer that buys this wallpaper MUST send me a photo of the finished work. This is museum quality at a budget price.

Colombes et Sanglier is a neoclassical Beaux-Arts style print that features a host of vignettes and historical references against a small scale geometric background. This high end paper is rich in detail and color and packs ample wow power. Schumacher still runs two color ways of Colombes et Sanglier but DraperyRow.com is the only place to find this particular discontinued color.

I derive most of my pleasure in the fabric and design business acquiring beautiful pieces such as this at a bargain and then passing them on to savvy consumers. Along the way I have regrets about selling pieces I should have kept for myself. The toile may be one of those patterns. Don't miss your chance to take any one of these fantastic designs and do check out the rest of my trade secrets at www.draperyrow.com.
