Help Me Name My Trellis Wallpaper




Here's a box full of my wallpaper designs for Porters Paints.  It's getting very close with all the designs now signed off and colourways chosen.  If you have dropped into our store of late you will know that our back 2 rooms are currently closed as we are redecorating them around my new wallpaper collection.   We will also be photographing these rooms in the coming weeks as they will be used in the advertising for the new collection.  There is exciting times ahead I promise!! 




Here's a little sneak peek below of some of the designs and colourways....



It's hard to see in this picture however, I wanted the collection to have a beautiful hand-drawn look.  I didn't want it to look like it had been generated by a computer.  My favourite design is going to be called - Round and Round the Garden and it isn't in the picture above.  You will have to wait until we launch in a couple of months time to see it.  The trellis is yet to be named and the stripe is going to be called Higgledy Piggledy Stripe. 

I was thinking it might be fun for you, my readers to name the trellis!!  What do you think?  I am opening this up to you and I hope that you will leave your ideas for the trellis name here in the comments section of this post.  The person who thinks of the name I select will be sent 3 free rolls of my wallpaper in any colour/design they choose and this is open to readers anywhere in the world. 

Please make sure you leave your email address when you leave your idea in the comments section below so that I can contact you!!

If you are unable to leave a comment here, then just email me - anna@blackandspiro.com.au and I will add your idea into the comment section below fo you.

The 3 free rolls will be sent out just after we launch the collection in a couple of months time.  However, I need to decide on a name in the next week so this is open until next Friday 16th March, 2012.

Hope you will join in the fun!!

Anna

OK I had to throw two more in ....
Tuesday's Trellis since you've done so many Friday Flowers ....
and Peking Trellis .... sort of a play on "peeking", and it has an oriental feel to me.

Everyone's ideas are fantastic. Can't wait to see what you pick!!!

Hi Anna....

This is a very last minute entry...but how about (and get your French accent at the ready);

Très Lisse!

A bit of a french play on words translating to 'Very Smooth' but fun and it sounds lovely too...!

Love your work!!

maeverhnelson@gmail.com

Thanks and good luck with the naming! I have a feeling you'll find one amongst the comments!

Hi Anna,

I left a comment on your blog but I couldn't seem to find it so thought I'd email just in case!

A very last minute entry, but how about (and get your best French accent at the ready!)...

Très Lisse!

A bit of a play on words translating to 'very smoth' but it's sounds lovely...as does anything said in French!

Good luck with the naming - I'm pretty sure you'll find the right one amongst all your comments!

Love your work.

Thank you,

Maeve xx

'Play School Windows'

Congratulations Anna on fulfilling your dream of designing your own wallpaper range. It must be very humbling to see what you have imagined produced into a finished product. The shapes and geometric patterns and primary colours you have used remind me of the windows on the iconic Australian children's program 'Play School'.

Best of luck with the Launch

lovestreet said...

Hi Anna

My suggestion is "How does your garden grow" - to fit in with the other (nursery rhyme-y) names in the collection and also literally describing the functional aspect of a trellis!

LOVE the designs - I can see a wall in my study papered with one of them.

Emma Blackwood

Sooo many comments and suggestions for this lovely wallapaper! It also reminds me of a maze but I see you have some names for that theme already so I am going for something simple.......'Absolutely Beautiful Trellis'
Cant wait to hear what you decide! KG x

EAC said...

Up & Down the Hedgerows (or in & out the hedgerows)

So many fun ideas but my thought is simple name with a little aliteration is easier to remember:

or

Fresh ( the new fretwork wallpaper).


Thank you for creating and continuing such an inspiring and lovely blog.

Anne said...

Oh, I can't resist a couple more! ;)

Viral Trellis (when I first saw the pattern, I thought of a virus diagram, but this is a good meaning: spreading rapidly ;))

Bellis Trellis (a play on the French word for beautiful) :)

Thank you for the fun.

Anna Spiro said...

Hi Anna,
I don't know why, but I think a good name would be "Melbourne Tram"....my first thought when I saw the green wallpaper!

Maureen, Brisbane

Anna Spiro said...

Hi Anna,
I love reading your blog and thank you so much for your beautiful colours and inspiring ideas. I get a lift just drinking in your beautiful pictures.
I thought maybe Sweetpea Trellis as a name for your beautiful wallpaper, as it is new and sweetpeas are usually planted now around St. Patrick's day.
The design reminds me of a trellis from a traditional garden with the sweet perfume of sweetpeas that are usually found there.
Thank you again and keep up the good work.
Anne Dallas

Anna Spiro said...

Hi Anna,

Love your work so much. Being way up here in Townsville, your site is a breath of fresh air and beauty, and I have returned often to enjoy your wonderful eye for colour, design and life.

Dotted all over Townsville are these wonderful brick fences and sidings to houses. Your trellis wallpaper is very reminiscent of those so if I may suggest a name it would be ‘Far North’. I imagine that is a little abstract for a win but that’s what they remind me of.

Townsville isn’t really ‘Far North’ Queensland, being a shade below that; but believe me it is far enough away from the design and arts mecca that Brisbane has become. Although I do have a great time following it and the rest of the brilliant design realm in Australia and the world online.

Thank you for a great blog and for sharing your fabulous joy for all things beautiful. It is a real gift.

Regards,

Brenda Murphy

Hi Anna

I love you blog so much and have been a long time reader - the wallpaper is amazing.

I thought of two names in keeping with the whimsical theme:

Anna in Wonderland

OR

Anna in Trellisland

to me the print looks like a maze and that reminded me of Alice in wonderland :-)

Anyhow I hope you love my suggestions...
Amanda
