Wallpaper the World - a community post!

I have decided that this is my favorite wallpaper of all time. Colors. Flowers. Geometrics. Gold sparkly. All in one!
Which leads to today’s special feature, a Retro Renovator community post. Wanna give it a try?
So which is your very favorite vintage wallpaper?
First, find it on one of our favorite sites:
- Rosie’s Vintage Wallpaper
- Secondhand Rose
- Hannah’s Treasures
- …or your favorite site
Second - save the paper on your hard drive, including the name of the site in the title. For example, save the image as: SumacSuesfavefromRosies.jpeg. This will be really helpful as I pull these together.
Last, send the jpeg and why you love it so to me.
I’ll load them up into a post on…Wallpaper Wednesday!

The main reason I haven’t used wallpaper is I am afraid to attempt to measure and cut it, and maybe mess it all up.

I just picked up the current issue of ‘Atomic Ranch’ magazine (spring ‘08) and there was an ad for Bradbury & Bradbury wallpapers touting their new Post-War & Atomic wallpaper lines — enticing enough to drive me to their website. Some pretty darned nice patterns there, too — geometrics in some wonderful colorways, and a kitchen style called ‘Apple Betty’ that’s bound to please Pam.
Hi Maggie. Be sure to see all my coverage of Bradbury’s launch of these new wallpaper designs back in November - including a great interview with Steve Bauer.
