Barberini Bee!

We found it!
For years, we've been enamored with the large damask wallpaper pattern that lines the hallway of the Art Institute in Chicago. Anyone that's used the restroom on the first floor between the modern wing and the old wing will recognize this pattern. It holds, in its secret and deceiving folds, the Barberini Bee. The wallpaper at the AI is a dark red on a gold background. It's stunning, but perhaps too much for our little home. So, we found a grey and white version that will be p.e.r.f.e.c.t.
I'll leave it up to you to discover on which wall we put it once you visit the house in person.
