Splattered Paint

Wendy Haworth Posted by: Wendy Haworth Print PDF

I am thrilled that Balustrade and Bitters is not only here to inspire us, but also that they have graciously asked me to help them by doing a little guest blogging.  This serendipitous invitation was a nice opportunity for me because I thought it was a good way to categorize all of the stuff that perpetually consumes both my mental and physical space.  So, here it goes, let the blogging begin…

Pollock-esque, splattered paint… I’ve been seeing this application in wallpaper quite a bit and I absolutely love it.  It is reminiscent of this amazing 1950’s Lucio Fontana and Osvaldo Borsani table and wall unit that Wright had at auction in 2006 (see pictures  below).  Ever since I saw those pieces, I’ve wanted to recreate that concept in an interior or furniture application.
