Reviewing my ebay saved searches this week, I discovered a seemingly new source of vintage New Old Stock wallpaper — multiple rolls of the patterns featured, so far — good prices (=/- $25 per roll, shipping factored into my number crunch) — and Buy It Now, so you don’t need to dally. I received permission to show some photos… and there seems like there will be lots more designs coming out of hiding soon. Lisa — owner of this wallpaper store in Elkhart, Indiana — told me, she “decided to go through these old storage rooms that contain thousands of rolls of wallpaper.” Be still my heart. Lisa seems to be listing more rolls daily. To see all the papers, try this link.
Here’s what owner Lisa told me when I asked permission to feature photos of these delights:
We own a wallpaper store in Elkhart Indiana. Frank’s Wallpaper and I have decided to go through these old storage rooms that contain thousands of rolls of wallpaper. Some of them are good and some not so great. So keep checking we will be listing them all on eBay. I have recently closed my internet store but we are considering re-opening that also as wallpaper is making a come back.
Thank You
Lisa
Above: I bought this paper for my mud room. As you will recall, I recently re-wallpaper my bathroom, which has encouraged me to wallpaper my mudroom. The Retro Decorating Gods delivered this delightful Americana-on-aqua just as I needed it!
Above: YOWZA, I have lots of rolls of this exact paper, which I acquired locally some years ago. IT IS GORGEOUS.
And YOWZA #2 — Lisa has it in smoky orange, too. YUM YUM YUM.
Above: PERFECT for a kid’s room!
Above: I desperately want to buy this paper in oodles of rolls — to use on a ceiling. To make a super gypsy Janis Joplin room. DESPERATELY.
Above: Yes, I can see rooms where these would work.
Above: Crazy geometrics.
Above: The piec de resistance, or however you spell it: A 5′ by 4′ wallpaper mural. UPDATE: It was Buy-It-Now and it sold within minutes of my Facebook alert.
UPDATE: More loveliness added, I see. Lisa knows she’s getting some good publicity, I bet, and is working it!:
