Circus wallpaper from Cath Kidston

Cath Kidston is relentlessly flooding the design world in her sea of nostalgia, and has turned her hand to wallpaper as well as the bags, aprons and homeware you may more immediately associate her with.

In this case, I could almost swear that her point of reference was the small spare room in my grandparents' house, which sported wallpaper almost precisely like this. Or, you know, it could be that she has simply and flawlessly replicated the fifties feel. Either way, today's children will enjoy making up stories around the animals on their wall, just like I did.
