LARGER THAN LIFE

I'm getting up the guts to go big in my new apartment. I want a larger than life print in my bedroom where I'll have one big long white wall to cover...

This might have just pushed me over the edge and now I'm thinking of going a little over the top with the whole thing. Those drapes? I swoon. The flamenco dancer? I die. Totally girly, and oh so awesome. Now, can anyone tell me where this image is from, so I can see the rest of what must be a fabulous home?

Ah! I love this -- Sadly, (if I remember correctly) I think it's actually a catalog shot, the stuff of dreams!

This fantastic! What an amazing idea - not only is it gorgeous, but totally extends the space.

I think it might be in Living etc from this year..... if I have time this weekend, I will peruse my collection and see if it's in there.

I love the graphic framed by the drapes, it is swoon worthy!

I LOVE it! I have a huge nude on my wall (not that big but pretty big) and it's one of my favorite things ever. Love the curtains.

I too featured this photograph in March on my own blog- sweetsuitechic.tumblr.com

Here is the information I found for the image:

Dramatic bedroom with canvas

A life-size photo, such as this one of Twenties theatre star Kyra Alanova, is an easy but super-effective way to create drama. Framed with colourful curtains the effect is enhanced.

Canvas
Surface View

Curtain fabric
