show and tell
Posted by Jessie on 5.15.2008.
I told you I cut up the wallpaper book:
And I spent a couple of days laying out the pieces on a huge plywood board (measuring approximately 4 x 8 feet)....
And then I got out some PVA adhesive (available here) and got to pasting. I even took out the window squeegee and felt all professional wallpaper-er-like smoothing it down.
And I am so, so pleased with the results (not quite this, but still...).
I really wanted to wait until it was hung in my dining room to show it to you, but given it's unique hanging requirements, that could be a while. And I just couldn't help myself.
Isn't it just the bees knees?

I love it! I think it's only appropriate that the wallpaper samples end up on your wall. What a great piece of art.

WOWie! It is so bold and it looks fab! Think of the options you'll have for a table runner, or place mats!!
