Happy Monday! I hope you had an amazing weekend!

I spent this past weekend I attending BKLYN DESIGNS and the weekend was filled with the cool products, fun people and house tours. I didn’t leave Brooklyn until it was time to come home. In a word, it was a blast, but yes, I am, in another word, exhausted. But it was so worth it!

Anyhoo, Saturday,  while walking around the show I found myself in the booth of Shanan Campanaro’s wallpaper company Eskayel. Taken aback by her stunning prints, I had the wonderful opportunity to strike up a conversation with her and her excitement and passion over her work was catching.

In speaking with her  I learned, she has two collections, Opulence and Frontier. And though both collections share the tribal feel that’s really hot in fashion right now, Opulence is more decorative, while Frontier has a more indigenous quality.

The prints and patterns for Eskayel come from portions of Campanaro’s paintings, which according to her are inspired by native peoples, endangered animals and the lands we all share. You can check out her paintings here. Her wallpaper is digitally printed on a latex and nylon blend paper, starting at $15 per square foot. As an added bonus, she will custom fit her papers for any space to prevent any excess. I can not wait to see more from her growing company.

BKLYN DESIGNS was an amazing show and I will definitely be back next year. I will be sharing more from my adventures in  Brooklyn tomorrow.
