Look!: Benjamin Dhong's Faux Bois Bathroom

5-1-ben's bath.jpgSo we were just doing a little blog surfing, and what did we come upon? Photos of Benjamin Dhong's faux bois bathroom at the San Francisco Decorator Showcase. Lovely.

See more photos, and read Ben's description on Desire to Inspire.

Greenlight--

The Alpha Workshops makes a faux bois paper, called Oh So Faux!:

but this installation may have been directly painted on the wall.

(full disclosure: I do some marketing & design support for Alpha... a great organization.)

Yep, I still don't care for faux bois. Ah well; I'll just sit this trend out and let those who like it use it (hopefully) as well as Benjamin has.

BD gave me the source of the wallpaper. It's by Nobilis. it's called woods and marbles. They only sell to the trade, but they have wallpapers with faux concrete, aggregate, travertine, various marbles, and various woods. They even have birds eye maple. These textures are very realistic. Some of them remind me of photo-realistic textures that are used in 3-D programs to map onto objects. You can see some here:

thanks BD!
