[Ed. note: Yes, maybe there's a little bit of wallpaper fever going around—so sue us. At least this one's for a good cause!] In collaboration with Peru's Casa de Milagros orphanage, New York-based wallpaper company
Cavern Home has produced a line of
wallpaper featuring designs co-created by the kiddos themselves,
with proceeds going directly to the orphanage.
Co-founder and designer Carly Margolis's recent trip to Peru inspired the collaboration. The wallpaper's design is fashioned from a repeated geometric
element, the traditional
Peruvian symbol called the "Chakana," or Inca cross; the kids' drawings of flowers, squiggles, etc. are interspersed with the orderly figures. $155/roll; available in turquoise, brown, and olive
