After an invigorating day of skiing, snowboarding or other outdoor activities, snuggle up by the fireplace along with our nostalgic print to help keep you warm. The blending of aqua with soft snow whites and cocoa browns naturally evokes a fresh feeling of the outdoors within us.
I am an avid skier and love outdoor winter sports. Do you recognize me; I’m the one on the right alongside my sister and father. Winter Wonderland was inspired from old photographs of family ski trips to the Quebec Laurentian Mountains.
In the 1950’s, novelty designs became popular and were known as conversational prints. Using these types of prints throughout your decor can conjure up happy childhood memories and give a home a story. Whether you’re in the city or the country, rekindle those memories with Winter Wonderland.

Jaima,
I love the motif and color palette of this fabric. It totally reminds me of those awesome bark cloth prints from the 1940’s and 50’s. Its fantastic covering that cozy couch… I think it would be equally fun in a boy’s bedroom…

Hi Julie:
Glad you like it. I am presently using it in a loft bedroom. the room isn’t finished yet as we are just working on it but I think it will look fabulous when it is completed.
Thanks.

I’m not a fan of winter, especially snow, but I think I could live with those ski slopes. The print makes me want a cup of hot chocolate sitting in front of a roaring fire.
