When I was out doing my errands yesterday I came upon a little something that made me think of my dear friend Scott Waterman. I venture to guess that at that very moment the postal carrier was placing a package from him on my doorstep. When I returned home I discovered it. I'm surprised my new neighbors didn't call the authorities when my screams, amplified by the cathedral ceiling, rang out upon opening this totally psychic gift!!
Let me explain. I first "met" Scott on Flickr in the winter of 2007 (seems like you've always been there). That fall he posted photos of some items he would be selling at his yard sale in Los Angeles. I couldn't make it, but I told everyone I knew in the area, "You have to go!" Among the items he was parting with were his collection of Rollerwall rollers. Over the years I regretted not having gotten them. And more recently, sitting across from a dreary wall in my new place it came back to haunt me. "I wish I had those rollers from Scott."
Well VOILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's so smart, he even included swatch fabric for me to create samples of each pattern. I'm in heaven! The landlady comes to town next week so I can run it by her. But I've always thought this was the perfect solution for a rental home where you'd like to be able to wallpaper but the removal upon leaving would be too laborious. With Rollerwall you get the design impact of wallpaper and then it can easily be painted over when the time comes. Oh Scott, how can I ever thank you enough. You are one amazing friend. You make the world a mucho better place. A endlessly textured and vibrant place! Merci.
