Good Questions: Wallpaper from Derek w/Mustache Commercial?

tmobilewallpaper011609.jpgEmily sent us an email: Have you seen that T-Mobile commercial where the Dad says there's a "No Dereks with mustaches clause?" I love the wallpaper in the house in the commercial and would love to use it for a small accent wall in my new home.

wallpaper2011609.jpgDo you or your design savvy readers have any idea where I could find it? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Can anyone ID the wallpaper? Let Emily know in the comments...thanks!

I love the irony of this. I see the ad and think to myself, "hey, I know exactly who sells that wallpaper. Maybe I've been doing too much design work lately- nobody will ever want to know that" and here we are.

Oh, wow. It's designed by Linda Barker. She's from the British television show, Changing Rooms- and I think she's also from my native Yorkshire.

She drives me mad, though, her voice is so annoying; and I always hated the rooms she did on that program (though I don't mind this wallpaper, I suppose).

Thank you for this question- I just noticed that wallpaper yesterday and thought how great it would look in my bedroom. Perfect timing!

Graham and Brown.

Target also has a pattern that is similar (in fact, it might just be Graham and brown as well). That pattern is all over the place. AT posted something a few days ago about wallpaper at target and I'm pretty sure it included that pattern.

Here's my dad putting up my Graham and Brown:

Misty, I'm so with you... when he calls her dude, his delivery kills me. I'm so embarassed that I never registered on the wallpaper. Methinx I shall go off and eat worms.
