A Little Bit of London

While I'd love to hop a flight across the pond for the Olympics, a trip to London just isn't in the cards.

I'll be staying right here, cheering for our athletes from the comforts of my own home. And this time, I can get even more wrapped up in the festivities — without the pricey plane ticket.

Londonium-Double-Decker-Bus-Paint

International home décor company Graham & Brown is bringing a little bit of London home.

The Londinium home decor collection takes some of the most iconic pieces of England’s capital and translates it into fabulous home décor: from wallpaper based on the city’s most famous landmarks (above; $70/roll) to paint colours in double-decker red (above; $35/can) and Union-Jack blue ($35/can), this capsule collection is everything my Brit-loving heart has ever dreamed of.

Londonium-Jubilee-Wallpaper

They've even designed a few specialty items for Her Majesty -- a wallpaper pattern to celebrate her Jubilee (above; $70/roll) and a printed canvas with a foil copy of her crown (below; $19.99). 

Londonium-Coronation-Canvas

I may not be able to be there in person — but with a little bit of the Londinium collection in my condo, it sure will feel like I am.
