I am always charmed by wall motifs, especially the ones that don’t come preset in wallpaper but are hand made, block printed or even stuck on creatively. Recently, a friend wanted something interesting on her wall. So we set about googling for some inspiration. Here’s what we found.

And what has my friend decided on? A block printed wall! I am so excited and can’t wait to get started on it. I love the block she has picked up. It’s very Jaipuri and it will be a great India touch to her walls!

Everybody, glad you loved the inspiration. I am a big fan of block printed walls, Warli on the wall and wall tattoos. Patricia, you won't believe the number of times I have visited your Warli link just to look, stare and ponder:)Will keep you informed of the outcome.
