No, it's not Mac-Tac! I found this black wallpaper with tiny floral patterns in a Toronto dollar store for a few bucks a roll and did one bedroom wall with it. The room was long and narrow and having that accent wall gave it a dollop of drama. When I moved, I found a roll of Ralph Lauren paper with trees all over it that I absolutely love - at another dollar store. I haven't done a thing with it 'cos this time I want to take it with me! Instead of putting it on the wall and leaving it there as a present for the next tenant, I'm considering somehow framing a large piece of the paper or making a screen out of it. I recently picked up the new Domino: The Book of Decorating (great book; great decor mag) and in someone had framed a lovely large piece of wallpaper like a piece of art. Well, why not? I just have to find someone to do it for me!
My Look:I spray painted the icky brown lamps and crappy blue IKEA mirror silver and threw a sheeny retro Value Village bedspread over my beloved brass bed, found in a junk store. The 'matching' side tables were once a strange sort of vanity - an ex sawed them apart and gave them a new leg each and voila!
