Where can I get a ‘fake book’, or ‘trompe l’oeil’ bookcase wallpaper ?

The standard is set by ‘Bibliotheque’ from Brunschwig & Fils, at £236 for a 4.5m drop roll and ‘Ex Libris’ from Cole & Son, £65-£75 for 10m roll. On a related theme, check out the false antique leather book panels from The Original Book Works, who also do paperback and vellum versions. If your budget doesn’t stretch to such refinement, what about two great giftwrap papers? There’s ‘Spines’ featuring Penguin Classics, only £1.95 a sheet from www.bloomsburystore.com or 0225-461049  and several different ones from the Bodleian Library shop in Oxford, including a design (ST1080) with 17th and 18th century books, which is £4.95 for 6 sheets. Buy it from their shop or online at www.shop.bodley.ox.ac.uk.

   

I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO HELP DESIGN MY HOUSE, BUT WANT MY HOME TO APPEAR AS IF IT GREW INTO ITS LOOK, NOT AS IF IT HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY DESIGNED. I PARTICULARLY LIKE VINTAGE STYLE.

I AM TRYING TO SOURCE BRICK FLOORING FOR MY ENTIRE DOWNSTAIRS INCLUDING THE KITCHEN, UTILITY, ENTRANCE HALL AND LIVING ROOM. IT WILL BE CONTINUED ON TO AN OUTSIDE PATIO. IT NEEDS TO BE SUITABLE FOR USE WITH UNDERFLOOR HEATING. PLEASE COULD YOU RECOMMEND SUPPLIERS?
