Want!

I'm rather besotted with this lovely wallpaper and fabric made my Lewis & Wood. Isn't it fabulous?! These aren't any old boats you know, these are boats drawn by my favourite marine artist JT Serres. (Who also happens to occasionally appear in fanfic around these parts.) The design is taken from the Liber Nauticus, and Instructor in the Art of Marine Drawing which was published by JT Serres and his father Dominic Serres in 1805. The instructor was originally intended for JT Serres' students at Chelsea Naval School.

The only thing stopping me from redecorating my house with this lovely print is the price. The wallpaper costs a cool £66 pounds per role and the fabric is £53 per metre. Eep!
