Irony: The Eclectic, Elevated to an Art

I have discovered that if you spend enough time on the internet staring at design blogs, particularly while having a minor panic about "OMG! IS THIS GREEN TOO GREEN?!?", which is a surefire sign that your house has driven you insane...

You will find things that you never thought people would do to their homes. Like this, for example:


It seems like a relatively innocuous retro design. But take a closer look. Take a much, much closer look at the pattern on that wallpaper.

Those... are sumo wrestlers.

At this point, I've spent so many months staring at photos, and articles, and idea books, and fabrics, and color swatches, and paint chips that I can't even tell whether or not this is brilliant or horrible anymore. I am, however, somewhat concerned about the mere idea of someone spending $292 a roll for ironic wallpaper. If, however, you'd love to spend that sort of money to have sumo wrestlers grace the walls of your home, you can purchase it here.

Also, is it just me or does "Ironic Wallpaper" sound like some sort of horrible high school garage band?
