From the wallpaper department of 'Whoa'

Let's get literal. I'll go with some Q-tip paper for the bathroom and and a cheese cracker motif for the kitchen. I'd like bunches of freshly sharpened pencils for the study and crumbly grape wafer cookies for the kids' room. Impossible you say? No longer! Your great-aunt Bess may not be a fan, but these digitally printed wallpaper designs by Soy Este make kitsch chic, and promise to transform any accent wall (or an entire room for the aesthetically fearless among you) into a work of art.

The mastermind behind these flat flights of fancy is a Este Lewis, a young artist who takes her inspiration from those everyday objects we consume, enjoy, and forget a few minutes later. Lewis makes you think about the potential beauty waiting to be captured in the gathering of candy-colored fuses and a thousand and one sheets of button candy rolls.

Looking at them en masse and in crystal-clear relief makes you feel like you're traveling back to a simpler, happier time when scamming the last cookie was the day's great victory.

Soy Este wallpaper is made to order - just send them your dimensions and they can provide a price quote. No matter what the scope of the project you envision, one thing is for certain: making over your space with any one of these designs is sure to render the plaids and paisleys of your past downright nap-inducing.

Brilliant! My boyfriend and I were looking for something funky to festoon the living room with. This sounds perfect!

I wonder if they make tin foil wallpaper. What kind of a mind trip would that be in a kitchen? haha.

Este Lewis builds her thinking on close observation and fantastical analysis: she rocks, she aligns, she rolls out crackers!
