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.
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!!

Bellissimo Trellissimo. Love the colours Anna!
Tinazante@gmail.com
What about Social Climber.
In keeping with your nursery rhyme theme..... How about 'along came a spider...' or of course...'incy wincy spider...'
This is such an exciting venture Anna. All the very best. Kate
Hi Anna
Just read your blog (as I do!) and can't help but think "overzealous trellis! "
Good luck
Nat, Australia
Hi Anna
Wallpaper looks fabulous - it made me think of a possible name...
'I'm jealous of your trellis'
I am already loving reading all the suggestions!!
All the best with the collection.
Katie
They are just lovely, and I love the colour ways!
I think "Diamond in the Rough" would be a great name- the diamond motif really stands out to me.
Hi Anna,
In staying true to the children's theme of your other titles, "Jack and the Beanstalk Trellis"....
Enjoy the fun!
Melissa.
gurtler.melissa.j@edumail.vic.gov.au
Hi Anna
First, I must say a love your Blog, only discovered it late last year .. wonderful.
My suggestion for the Trellis Wallpaper is:
"TROPICAL TRELLIS"
Best Wishes,
Maureen Trickett-Thomas
Balmoral Beach, Mosman NSW
OK, totally fabulous designs! Can't wait to see the rest. For the trellis, I'm thinking "La Tee Da Labyrinth." Mandi
www.interiordesignmusings.blogspot.com
Love 'em! Especially the colorways!
Tipsy toe trellis
Trellypso (play on calypso)
Since the pattern looks like latticework how about a play on words with that.. Lattice Make you Smile.
Valerie
Hi Anna,
Was thinking of your beautiful garden and thought why not "Anna's Trellis?" Or in place of your name your dear mothers name (which has slipped my mind, apologies)_______ trellis or your grandmothers name _______trellis Can't wait to finally visit your store in person.
xx
H
gorgeous designs and colours, so exciting.
My suggestion is hickory dickory trellis!

Anna's Maze as a play on Ariadne.
'trail me'.how's that?
...Traipsing Trellis...
Hi Anna!
Just adding an idea for your beautiful wallpaper..
"Ring A Ring A Rosie"
I really love them all!
Karen
Anna, I suggest Parterre Trellis because the lines remind me of formal boxwood hedges. Love your blog. Anne
Show me your trellis :)
Hi Anna
Spirellis..
They look fab!
Nicki x
This is so incredibly exciting Anna - your own wallpaper range. I'm thinking my little study/office/studio/work room at my home needs some Spiro/porters paints goodness! - you've already had some awesome name ideas - good luck deciding!
This is the plan - next time up in Brissie, help me choose the wallpaper for the best room in my new house! Kimberlee xx
Hi Anna,
wonderful wallpaper. I can't wait to see your favourite!.
Now a name? Im thinking...............................................
"Eye of the be-holder", or
"catch me if you can"or
"un-lock my trellis"
I love the pink Trellis one best.
Warm wishes,
Daryl Wark
I like Peekaboo You! The dots remind me of eyes peering through lattice to see something beautiful on the other side ...
mbthigpen@gmail.com
I vote for simply "Sydney Trellis".
Fret it.
foget-me-not fretwork
Fret-a-fret

Gorgeous Anna ..... I like ....
Anna's Treilage
x sherie
Hi Anna, love your wallpapers. Carrying on with the nursery rhyme theme also, how about "Like a diamond in the sky" or "twinkle, twinkle little star".
Hi Anna - I avidly await each of your blog entries and love all your photos and news. Good luck with your new wallpaper!
How about "Absolutely Trellis" for the trellis design.
Hi Anna -- Can't wait to see photos on your blog of the new wallpapered rooms in your shop!
How about "Absolutely Trellis" for the trellis pattern.
Fiddle Dee Dee or Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary
Congratulations on your new collection. Your trellis designs reminds me of a maze so I'm thinking something along the lines of "Trellis A-maze-ment"
I love all of the wallpaper prints. The trellis reminds of a maze. Perhaps " Amazing Grace".
Melinda
fourms@mchsi.com
I'm having another go Anna.... My thoughts now go botanical...trellises and beautiful climbers... Love Passiflora or Passionvine....
Katejoynerconsulting@gmail.com
Trellis Spiro...
or is that too obvious?
A-maze?
Hi Anna
Congratulations on the wallpaper! What fun. When I look at the trellis paper I see 'Garden Gate'.

Hi Anna, I enjoy your website and love the new paper- so here's an idea for the trellis paper- "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend Trellis"- I hope I win.
Thanks, Jade
Hi there Anna,
Congratulations on your lovely wallpaper collection. How about Juliet's Trellis as a name. After the trellis that might have been under Juliet's balcony. Your design actually looks like the layout of a formal Italian or French garden though, so Italian Garden or French Garden might also be nice. I hope I'm not overdoing it with the suggestions but I'm keen to win!
Best wishes,
Mary
Hi Anna,
I think you're wallpaper designs are amazing - kudos! I also like how you are using clever names. For the trellis style, I think it should be "walk like an Egyptian"
:)
Jennifer Barr
Hi Anna,
Congratulations, your designs are
'Absolutely Up There' ;)
or 'Lucy In The Sky' ...with diamonds of course!!
Julie
Great colours and I really like that it doesn't look computer generated. MAZING would be my suggestion......B:)
Anna! This is so exciting, what a thrill for you! Think my 'nook' in my little place could do with a splash of Spiro magic!
What fun to get your followers to help with naming your trellis! Love the angle you've taken with the names so far, gorgeous.
Here's my two bobs worth . . .
Merry go trellis
Eensy weensy Spiro
Vertigo
Whimsy
Pocket full of posies Trellis
Melody Trellis
But a dream Trellis
Sugar and spice
Twinkle twinkle trellis
Good luck and here's to a smooth coming month for you - I bet it's hectic all the same!!!
Kate x
Anna I simply love everything you do and this is so fun!
twining trellis
summer house trellis
garden gate trellis
paper lantern trellis
peace, love, & trellis
trellis du jour
Can't wait to see what you choose.
Trellis wallpaper always reminds me of the sets in the film My Fair Lady. Perhaps you can name it after one of the characters:
Eliza's Garden
Doolittle Trellis
Mother Higgins' Vines
Climbing Pygmalion

Oh what fun!! These are So fabulous!!
Here are my ganders at names:

How about "Doodling Trellis" since it is a hand-drawn-look design?
Always love your vivid colors!
All the best!
Hi Anna,
My the papers are absoluty devine! Was thinking maybe 'Moorish Trellis' - paying tribute to its historical origins and how wouldn't want more! Looking forward to your next vignette.
Regards,
Dolly Chesterfield
How about "Doodling Trellis" since it is hand-drawn-look design?

Hi Anna,
Firstly I just want to say how much I love your blog, so inspirational!
A couple of suggestions for your trellis design
1. Happily Ever After
2. Garden of Eden, or, Anna’s Garden of Eden
Speaking of trellises, I bought some of your royal blue trellis fabric from your off-cuts section for some cushions and they look fantastic.
Cheers,
Cath
Hi Anna,
Just thought of another....Trellis in Wonderland!

Well done on your recent venture with Porters Paints - you must be so excited. I thought of some ideas yesterday for trellis and jotted them down...
Up the garden path
You are growing on me...
Oh grow my divine vines...
I look forward to continued reading of your blog and seeing how your 2012 evolves Anna, All the best, Ana
I think it should be named oriental maze!
Cindy
Hi Anna,
Just thought of another....Trellis in Wonderland!
Cath
Wow! Congratulations on your gorgeous wallpaper.
Trumpets on my Trellis
The Trumpet Vine, perfect for the trellis and beautiful.
Summer Afternoon in Versailles.
I don't know why but it reminds me of an aerial shot of the garden paths at Versailles, and also the way you walk around and around the hedges and lakes, discovering something new!
(Also, I just like the words 'summer', 'afternoon' and 'Versailles' together!) And these colours are so summery and Anna Spiro-ish.)
But I love the other suggestions here too. Such creativity!

The wallpaper is beautiful. A Tisket a Tasket (from the nursery rhyme) might go well with your other name.
Down the Beanstalk is what comes to mind for me. Goes with the theme of the other two names and looks very much like a climber of some sort. Up the Beanstalk also being an option but not sure if it could be taken the wrong way. mel. mfowler@hotmail.com.au

Hi Anna,
I really enjoy reading your blog and seeing all the lovely colour combinations you use.
My name for your trellis wallpaper is Itsy Bitsy following on in the same theme as the others (Itsy Bitsy spider).
Hope you like it.

Hi Anna
Congratulations on the imminent arrival of your wallpaper range. The trellis pattern is such a fresh interpretation. How about naming it "Peeking In" - always what you feel like doing when there is a screen about.
I really enjoy your blog
Penny
Hi Anna,
After reading the other names you had given to the two other designs the first thing that came to mind was....One, two, buckle my shoe.
I love your blog, it is such an inspiration to me, thank you so much, keep up the great work!
Kindest regards,
Tania Parnwell

A job well done - looks great!
I love, Love, LOVE Porters!!
My suggestion is:
'Mirror, mirror on the wall'
Best wishes,

Dear Anna,
Some thoughts for your wallpaper name:
"Garden Maze"
"My Garden Maze"
"Lost in the maze"
To me the pattern reminds me of a garden maze and the mystery of what lies within! - much like the interior of a home.
Kind regards,
Sally Ringuet.
Dear Anna,
Having recently been to your wonderful store for the first time I couldn't resist a name suggestion (or three!) for your fantastic paper -
1. Through the looking glass
(because to me it looked at first like lots of reflections and holds the shape of my grandmothers antique mirror)
2. Love interlocking
(because the abstract in me thought it fit well)
and
3. Row-boat-a- trellis
(because within the pattern I can see row boats and oars and ripples on the surface)
What a fascinating competition this will be to judge with all of the creative entries!
Have a lovely weekend!
Sarah
Hi Anna
Jo told me about your new wallpaper and that you are looking for names … so working hard on a Friday we came up with a few (not sure if you needed it to be ‘something trellis):
Sillert Trellis Trellis backwards
Anna’s Trellis Because it is yours
Fancy Trellis It is fancy
Sweet Pea Trellis Traditionally grown on a trellis
P.S. Could you please let me know if the Sweet Pea Trellis comes in yellow, I am looking for sunshine for my little girls (Poppy & Lulu’s) room...
Good luck with the names!
Kind regards
Sarah
I have been waiting for these - my white walls can't wait.
My suggestion - Trellissimo!
Well done Anna.
Ali Donaldson
Wow - I can't believe how creative you all are!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for all of your -AH-MAZING {pardon the pun} entries! It is going to be so hard to choose a winnner!!!
Keep them coming everyone and thank you again for all of your wonderful ideas!!
xoxo
Anna
Hi Anna,
I hope you can enter more than once as I have another name. The name is Boomps-a-Daisy as the pattern keeps bumping into itself.
Hope you like it.
Thanks,
Naomi.
Hi Anna,
The trellis design is gorgeous! My name suggestion is: Little Bo-Peep.
Cath xo
'Mary had a little maze'

Hello
I love your blog. Very much. The images make me tingle and feel very happy. My idea for your wallpaper is "secret maze" or "giddy garden"
Thank you

Other ideas ;)
"Holding Hands Trellis" (the design looks like holding hands to me)
"Ring Around the Rosie" Trellis (another take on holding hands)
I just went right to the end so I didn't see anyone else's names: 'Rare Squares' - hope you like it!! Sarah at monacointeriors76@yahoo.com.
Absolutely love the blog, and adore the wallpaper designs.
I am thinking, Trollope's Trellis!
Hi Anna,
reminds me of a potager garden... so, I like simply "potager".
Herta
WOW your wall paper looks gorgeous!!!
Fiddle Dee Dee, climb a trellis did he!!
Good luck to all in the competition!!
Hello Anna,
A couple of suggestions that I have are....
1.Millefleurs Trellis...french for a thousand flowers. I have noticed how you love flowers and the colorful decor that you use.
2.Tessellations...meaning a repeat pattern composed of interlocking shapes extended infinitely...kind of liked how the word sounded and the meaning fits the design of a trellis!
Goodluck with your new line!
Michelle
I would like to name the wall paper "On The Terrace".
I adore your blog Anna , now I am retired from work as a merchandiser , it is my favourite web site . You inspire me , unfortunately there is only so much one can do to their own home, therefore I love to see what you do to other peoples.
Kind regards, Susie Rankine
Hi Anna.
My suggestion is to name the style of the wallpaper Memories of an Endless Summer and then name each of the colours Sunset (orange), Grecian Water (blue), Fresh Cut Grass (green) and Mum's Fuchsias (pink).
Hope you like them!
Lydia B
Hi Anna
Your designs are really beautiful. I thought Serendipity would be a good name its definition is the faculty of making fortunate discoveries by accident.

Anna,

Sorry if I've done any duplicates...have tried my best not to but 120 comments was too many to remember in detail! You are going to have your work cut out for you picking a name.
Got my fingers crossed for this comp - been sitting agonising over the wallpaper for feature wall for about a year now...it would take about three rolls to do it. Maybe this is a sign!
:) Anna
Anna,
How about
"Trellie"

for some reason "eye of the tiger" popped into my head :-) xo

Thanks, Anna!
Hello, I just came over to your blog by way of Cote de Texas. It is just, well, absolutely beautiful!! I love your colors and patterns. The wallpapers are gorgeous. I would suggest:
Frog Trellis (reference to frog prince and part of the design reminds me of frog legs)
Like a Diamond
Twinkle Twinkle Trellis
Will definitely be following your blog from now on! Good luck with your wallpaper venture!
Katie Bartman

If I may, for your competition, Id like to suggest
Max's Meandering Maze
Take care and much smiles
Felicity
Hi Anna
I live in England and have just started following your blog. I love your site and am inspired by the interesting and innovative pictures and designs you showcase. I wish I could jump on a magic carpet and whisk myself over to your lovely shop for the day!
How about 'Through the Maze' for your trellis wallpaper design? It reminds me of an English Manor House country maze and, given that you have already called one 'Round and round the garden', I thought this was in keeping with your literary fairytale and horticultural (Alice in Wonderland meets The Secret Garden??) theme. You could use some topiary trees in your store as part of your merchandising to reflect the name and bring a bit of fun.
Good luck with your project, it promises to be fab!
All the best
Kay Prestney

I haven't read through them all, so apologies if these have already been suggested:
"Keyhole Trellis"
"Come Along Trellis"
"Through the Looking Glass Trellis"
Beautiful!!
-Rebecca
Ah- maazing!!! It's my dream to have a wallpaper line so very inspired.
As for the name, I'm going to go with:
Secret Garden Trellis
The pattern is so reminiscent of the mood/feel of that book- one of my favourites!
Or...on the same track, it could also be aptly named:
Mary Lennox (Trellis)
...after the main character.
xo
Hi Anna,
What about the names:
tres treillis
beau treillage
congratulations for this! absolutely love your blog!
Helene
bouzic@gmail.com
Hi Anna
Congratulations your wallpapers are lovely.
They would be lovely in a breakfast room or similar so my suggestions are:
'Tea Time Trellis' or
'Tea Party Trellis'
Kind regards
Rechelle
your wallpaper looks gorgeous!
i really love the colors :)
so cute and bright! i can definitely picture them really brightening up a room
the design on the trellis wallpaper reminds me a little of eyes so maybe i spy trellis?
or what about stop and smell the trellis? that may sound rather silly but the shape of the design reminds me a little of a stop sign :)
a trellis like this
traipse through the trellis
those are just a few random thoughts going through my head.
hope i was able to help :)
good luck with the launch of your collection!!

I've just got back from living in East Asia and the Middle East for the past 6 years and your blog really kept me going for a good part of that time! I recently came back to Bris and bought a house and it's filled with Anna Spiro-esque inspiration, so I must thank you for that!
I don't really have any ideas for the name of the wallpaper, except maybe:
'Trompe L'Trellis'
as its hand-drawn look is deceptive to the eye, and the name has nice alliteration!
Hi Anna
Firstly I wanted to say a big thank you, I adore your blog, I wish I were able to visit you store (I am hoping to, one day!) but I am very glad to be able to follow you online. Your magnificent style certainly resonates, you have such an eclectic elegance, and i really admire the sentiment you can see in your work, everything in you store always looks so loved and full of sunshine!
I really enjoy watching your interior designs unfold- it's very inspirational, I moved to Paris 6 months ago and many of my 'house-warming' projects have been influenced by you. So anyway, big fan, and big thanks!
Your beautiful trellis wallpaper reminds me of the Faberge designs, I can imagine a creeping clematis growing up like little jewels. So I would suggest 'Faberge Lattice' or 'Green-fingered Faberge' or something like that.
Warmest regards
Harriet
CONGRATULATIONS Anna,
What lovely designs in your trademark colours... A testament to your talents...
Sx
Thank you Shannon! Great to hear from you. Hope you are well!xx
Gosh - HOW AM I GOING TO CHOOSE JUST 1?!?!?!
Thank you so much for all of these fantastic suggestions!
Please keep them coming. I will close the entries this Friday...

Anna
what about don't be trellis? Or are you jealous of my trellis?
Anna
Love the design and as a fellow Brisbanite, am going to suggest "Tickle me Trellis"
Cathy T
In keeping with your nursery rhyme theme, I think "It's raining, it's pouring" would work. The trellis reminds me of raindrops on a window pane.
Trellis me this, trellis me that
I find it lovely to follow your blog all these years as I have the impression I am part of your adventure (minus the hard work for me!). It is very inspiring!
My suggestion for the wallpaper
"Sous la treille" under the trellis in French!
well as they do appear as cat's eyes
how 'bout
Eye Spy
Kitty in the Corner
or as arms outstretched
then
Arms Around You Trellis
Put My Arms around You Trellis
All Join Hands Trellis
have a good day

Tribal Trellis...
Hi Anna
What great news regarding your wallpaper range!
My suggestion is:
'GEO BOOGIE WOOGIE'
after Piet Mondrian's iconic
'BROADWAY BOOGIE WOOGIE'!
i know how you love New York and the repetition and lines just reminded me of this early 20th Century Mondrian painting. I always loved the title.

Hi Anna
My suggestion is "New farm mazes".
Congratulations on all your hard work. Enjoy this special time ahead and be kind to yourself for you have achieved something very unique.

I suggested
GEO BOOGIE WOOGIE

Hi Anna,
How about any of the following:
"Trellis by Nature"
"Dreamy Trails"
"Spiro's Trellis"
"Tales of Trellis"
"Cross-stitch Heaven"
With classic movie names like "Sound of Trellis" or "Trellis in Wonderland"
All the very best with naming the wallpapers!

I start my day with your blog. It is just pure joy to wish my way to Brisbane and read of you ad Faux Fuschia. I am a lifelong lover of blue and white and color. I am a school librarian in Florida. I find great pleasure in dreaming of the beautiful rooms you create and the beach and gardens.

A couple of ideas for your trellis wallpaper - Hop Scotch

Hi Anna, these prints remind me of a fun childhood, so I was thinking Hiccups or H Cups ( what my daughter calls hiccups.
Thanks Penny
Hi Anna
I have had difficulty posting my reply - you have now received it 3 times or not at all. Apogogies either way!
Just in case my suggestions are:
Bellisimo Trellisimo
Tantalisingly Trellis
Knick Knack Paddy Whack
Tutti Fruitti Trellis (in homage to the divine colours)!
Trellis Triumphant
Clever you.
Elisha Rickward
My suggestions are
Truly madly trellis
Truly trellis
Having been a textile designer myself I know how hard it can be to get that hand drawn look in the finished product. I have to say they are both beautiful but I really love the smaller stripe :-)
Hi Anna
I suggest 'Snakes and Lattice'

Hi Anna
I am a long-time reader of your blog, I have never contributed before but thought of a name immediately for your trellis wallpaper.
The pattern reminds me of an aerial view of a maze so I thought "Amazing Grace" could be apt.
It incorporates a play on the word maze and grace which defines your style and no doubt your wallpaper range for Porters.
Kind regards

hi - there seems to be a bit of a nursery rhyme theme going on here ...! what about "tic tac toe trellis".
Alan O'Sullivan
Trellis a secret?
The unjoined lines remind me of cupped hands behind ears.
Hi Anna,
Sorry to email but I have a problem on blogs with my email address so have to enter via email.
My entry in the competition is ‘the shape of things’ or you can it extend it to ‘the shape of things to come’

Love your blog! How about Garden Gate? or Anna's Garden Gate?

You have unleashed a beast … it is a bit scary when one finds oneself thinking of wall paper names at 10pm at night
Good luck with the names!
Kind regards

Love your work. The design reminds me of a maze made from hedges, like the Queen of Heart's has in her Alice in Wonderland garden. A cute name could be "Queenie's garden" or "Wandering Alice".
Hi Anna
The wallpaper looks fabulous. The trellis pattern reminds me of a pack of old style playing cards so how about "Queen of Hearts".
All the best.

Hi Anna,
Not sure if you have this suggestion already, but I was thinking "Charlotte's web"
Thanks, Viv.
Hi Anna
The first three that came to mind for me were Diamonds in the Sky, Looking Glass Lattice and Peekaboo Trellis.....of which variations have all been suggested...back to the drawing board!!
As Imperial Trellis is such an iconic design and has such a perfectly simple name, perhaps a name that is also one word but still fits with your theme.....maybe Ethereal Trellis or Fairytale Trellis?
I also like 'Rambling Rosie Trellis' as it also has a vintagey/whimsical sound like the two already named - the 'Rambling' suggests more of the hand drawn quality you were looking for, the 'Rosie' suggests ring a ring a rosie and that a trellis is usually for flora to climb on...(not to mention you describe your blog entries as "ramblings")...I also like the idea of the pink one being called Rambling Rosie Rose...haha!!
Love your ramblings by the way, have been reading them for years! Wanted to also thank you for my $5 cushion - i got a scrap of designers guild elenora fabric from your sale a couple of years ago and turned it into a cushion...it is still on the couch and my boys (the little and big one) still fight over who gets to lie on it....
Hope you find something that resonates with you before the deadline...

P.S. Please feel free to edit this for the comments section as I have rambled on a bit myself!
Hi Ro,
I love your ramblings too!! I also loved hearing about your cushion which, by the sounds of it, is treasured and loved which is just so wonderful!!

Hello Anna,
Adore your blog! My favorite by far. The trellis is so crisp and stunning!
How about:
"Tilly's Trellis" or "Groovy Trellis"

Hi Anna,
Can't wait to see what you do with the wallpaper.
My suggestions are Garden Party, Tea Party or Raffles Dreaming.
Regards
Michele
Anna,
Very exciting indeed! I've been looking at this all afternoon waiting for my daughter to return home from school to add her two cents...She (Madeline, 17) adores Latin and so I thought she might come up with something having to do with Latin...so here is our idea...
The Gates of Rome
You have some very creative ideas in the previous comments. I think the one honoring your mom or grandmother is very sweet.

Hi Anna,
Love the wallpapers...I'm in the throws of choosing a wallpaper for the kitchen, wouldn't these be great!
My name for the trellis design would be "crazy maze" ....I look forward to seeing them in production soon.
Kind regards,
Nikki Bannister
Hi Anna,
Congratulations on your new papers - I can't wait to see them in store.
I (finally!) had an idea this morning - how about 'Knot Garden'
Best regards,

Hello Anna,
Your new wallpaper range is just so inspiring and beautiful. Thanks, it’s generous of you to invite your readers to join in the of naming your trellis design. Here’s what I came up with.
I love wordplay and the fabulous name you gave your stripe design sparked my imagination for a theme of sorts.
If you add a few words to the stripe name, to this:
“A-Hiddledy-Piggledy-of-Stripe”
then maybe you could call your trellis design
“A-Treasure-trove-of-Trellis” or
“A-Tribe-of-Trellis” or
A-Tropic-of-Trellis” or
“A-Lollipop-of-Lattice”
If you don’t like that idea, how about simply:
Treasure-trove Trellis or
Tribal Trellis or
Tropical Trellis or
Lollipop Lattice or
Thanks again for a chance to name the design. It was lots of fun!
I wish you every success with your new line and thanks so much for all the joy and pleasure you’ve given me through sharing your inspiring work through your blog.
best wishes
Elizabeth Hayes
So many wonderful names! The decision is going to be hard! I've got a few favourites so far. You are all so clever and creative.
Thank you so much for joining in the fun.
xx
Anna
Okay, I have one more for you:
Enchanted Trellis (Still liking the one word before the Trellis like the Imperial thing and I think still goes with your theme ...plus the trellis has a very Moroccan/Persian look which makes me think of Aladdin/magical things)...Apologies if this has already been suggested, haven't checked this time!
Am all done now, don't envy you having to decide.
Kind Regards
Ro Petterson
Hi Anna
Thought you might like the names Flowers in Disguise or Flossie Trellis.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful finds through your blog, it inspires me to bring beauty in to all aspects of my home and life.
Willow
Love you blog. Congratulations on the wallpaper! So pretty. I can't wait to see the full collection. My suggestion is, "A,tisket-a,tasket"...
Best, Sarah
I think a lovely name for the trellis pattern would be "gateways trellis", as the design inspires thoughts of a charming old gate, and the name would be evocative of beginning a new adventure, as you yourself are doing, Anna, with this venture. Best of luck to you. ~Jennifer
This has to be one of the all time best posts! So much creativity to match your beautiful new wallpapers.
My suggestions are: Come into the garden maze (apologies Lord Tennyson) and five, six pick up sticks.
The new shop windows are beautiful, I spy them as I go by on the bus.
Hi Anna,
I am an avid reader of your blog and have come up with a couple of names for the trellis wallpaper.(A)Mary Mary quite contrary.(B)Round and round the mulberry bush.
You must have such fun everyday, I'm sure you have headaches too, but mainly fun!!
Thank you for continuing to inspire and delight.
Amanda Guilfoyle
my idea is...
"tip toe through the trellis" with me!
Good luck choosing and apologies if someone has already suggested this name...there are sooo many!

Rapunzel would be a cute name too!
Climb a trellis.
Fairy trellis.
Jacks climbing trellis. (Jack and the bean stalk)
Pixie Sticks.
