About ‘The Art of Gracie: Handpainted Wallpapers, Timeless Rooms’:
A glorious celebration of America’s most storied handpainted wallpaper company, family owned for 125 years, featuring dozens of rooms by today’s top interior designers.

The story of Gracie wallpaper, founded in 1898 and still family owned by the sixth generation, is one of the great untold stories of American interior design. Best known for their exquisitely detailed designs, Gracie papers have been installed at the White House and many of America’s most notable homes. They are a go-to resource for interior designers including Mark Sikes, Summer Thornton, Ellie Cullman, Brooke Giannetti, Suzanne Kasler, Michael S. Smith, Alexa Hampton, Alex Papachristidis, and Amanda Lindroth, and Gracie can be found in the homes of celebrities including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and Cameron Diaz.

About Gracie:
For 120 years, the Gracie family has made it their mission to marry the past and present together in a truly unique way. While our world may be obsessed with 2-day shipping, Gracie handpainted wallpapers stand apart, in a niche that has weathered the test of time.
Gracie wallpapers remain highly sought after, and grace the walls of some of the most notable homes in the world. From the White House in Washington, to Winfield House in London, Gracie has always been at the forefront of extraordinary design. And it’s not just the brand’s legacy, but the company’s unique family history that contributes to their distinction in the design world.

I have been painting since my early years. It continues to tell me new things about who I am. I consider watercolor my first love where art utensils are concerned. I’m very grateful to live in this community of coastal Rhode Island, so rich in artists and art lovers alike.

“If it weren’t for Debra McGuire, The Forty Year-Old Virgin, McLovin and Dewey Cox would be naked!” — Judd Apatow

Her work spans film, television, and theatre, with credits including Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Superbad, Freaks and Geeks, and The Morning Show.

August Book Club! Sign up for the book club by emailing us or coming in store and get 10% off the purchase of the featured book.

📖 Fiction Book Club - Tuesday, August 18th - 6:00 - 7:00 pm

August’s book club features Andrew Sean Greer’s recent novel, “Villa Coco”.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less, showcases his wit, sophistication, and deep knowledge of focaccia in this tale of a young man who takes an unspecified job with a charismatic elderly Baronessa at her crumbling villa in the Tuscan hills.

A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR: People, TIME, Esquire, Oprah Daily, Lit Hub, Seattle Times

“No one writing in English is funnier or more charming than Andrew Greer. Every sentence in this novel sings.” —David Sedaris, author of Happy-Go-Lucky

“An absolute delight.”—Elif Batuman, author of Either/Or

“Such a sunny book.”—Kate Atkinson, author of Shrines of Gaiety

Told with the signature wit, charm, and humanity that made Less an international phenomenon, Villa Coco is a dazzling, sun-soaked ode to life itself, a meditation on how seriously we ought to take ourselves, and a b***y Mediterranean ballad about becoming who we’ve always wanted to be.
