When Tiffany Richie's office was posted on La Dolce Vita last week I was reminded how much I loooove Thibaut's Tanzania wallpaper.

I was also reminded of Meredith Heron's office, where Meredith used the same paper, similar brass furniture and virtually identical chairs. She also used the same Prada print in another section of the room. Either the two of them have eerily similar taste or one has bestowed the most sincere form of flattery on the other.

Maybe I'm naive, but I'm going with eerily similar taste. It seems to me that pics of the spaces were released too close to one another to be anything else. There just wouldn't have been enough time to copy! (UPDATE: Turns out I probably was just naive. Meredith is not amused)
Tanzania isn't the only black spotted wallpaper I'm obsessed with though. Fireworks by Albert Hadley has a very similar feel, and is pretty much the most perfect powder room wallpaper ever, especially when paired with pink!

Hinson's Splatter wallpaper takes this idea to an even crazier extreme. I must admit that I like it a bit less than the other two. With a pattern this busy my eyes need a bit of white space to rest on, and slightly more consistency in dot size.
I have some spotted pillows in my living room, and I've been loving the Tanzania wallpaper too. So glad you pointed out that Meredith Heron's office and Tiffany Richie's office are two different rooms. I kept seeing photos on Pinterest and they looked so similar, so I was totally confused. Now I know the story. Very interesting. I read what Meredith had to say about it on her blog (thank you for that link!). I can see a non-designer doing that, but not someone who calls herself a designer. Very strange.
