    You can do something similar on a large canvas.That way you can take it with you too.
    Au Naturale sell them fairly cheaply.

    I paid a visit to B&Q this morning to check out their lovely wallpapers. I happened to leave with a few *cough* sample pieces and also one full roll of wallpaper for £2. I've had a go at making a piece of wallpaper canvas art...I've yet to decide if it was successful or not. Details on my blog: http://mumsee.wordpress.com/
    :T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j

    :drool: I love them. These would be so perfect for my kitchen.
    Think I'll have to bring another port over specially for my booty next time I visit.
    Love the little red spotty canisters too. :wall:

    Kisto - that's lovely. Well done. I think the idea of a canvas is a brilliant one, if you can't paper a wall - I certainly wouldn't have thought of this. x

  • Hi. i'm still waiting to pick my mirrors up that i won on ebay, the seller has still not got back to me with their address! i have been busy listing stuff on ebay to try and make back some of the money i keep spending on there :rotfl: . one of my naighbours was slinging out a wooden bed frame today and i asked if i could have it, she said yes, :j god knows why i asked for it i don't even need it :confused: ,i'm going to paint it and then find a home for it. i'm also know on the look out for a pot cupboard for my lounge.

    VP- that chair looks very comfy. did the cat just happen to be sitting there or did you put him/her there?
