If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed my obsession with hand painted wallpapers. De Gournay, Gracie, Zuber… I love them all! So naturally, when I spied the London apartment of Hannah Cecil Gurney, director of de Gournay and daughter of the company’s founder, I became a little giddy. Hand painted wallpaper for days!!

Tearing down those beautiful papers every six months sorta makes me want to cry. I never understood that sort of decorating. Once something is right, it's right, and only needs occasional tweaking.
Holy moley!!!
I'm with you on this! Love it!
