Vintage wallpaper isn't just for walls.....old suitcases LOVE it!
Printers trays are a bit partial too.....
In fact, you can do lots with vintage wallpaper, want to see?
It can make old drawers.......look like new!
Old cupboards can suddenly become places you want to live in.....(honestly!)
Little suitcases can be made into lovely places for little cats to snooze...(although as I write she's snuggled up with me on the sofa!)
More printers trays.....I can NEVER have too many of those!
Vintage sewing machines cut-a-dash too, when covered in the loveliness, or you could always cover sticky shelves with it (p.s. they aren't sticky anymore!)
Or you could always chop it up and stack the shelves of your Etsy shop with it! Share the goodness....
It's a thing of beauty, in its own right, not perhaps to everyone's taste......beauty is as they say, 'in the eye of the beholder'!
Lovely stuff....well I think so, what about you? What would you do if you had some vintage wallpaper?!!!
Sorry I've been neglecting my little blog, things are a little busy around here at the moment and my time has been stretched, I'm just hoping it doesn't stretch too far and go Ping!!!
I will try and catch up with you all soon, hello and welcome to those of you who are new here.....as you can see, I'm a bit of a vintage wallpaper fanatic!
Bye folks...back as soon as I can.....

DeleteBad computer has become good computer so I can finally stop by blogland and say howdo. Fabulous collection you have there my woman. I especially love the covered shelves, I've been thinking about trying to get enough to do my stairs (just the underneath bits). Mind you it's been six years and still not finished painting them yet so we'll see.

I've seen that idea, it's fab! I'd be tempted myself but not sure I could cope with two children stomping up and down on them, well we are entering the teenage phase here! :) x

I have a problem calling them 'vintage'...to me they are 'modern' so does that make me 'old'? They must be over 40 years old and still so bright and jolly (me too!) EE xx
ReplyDeleteWow, I never thought if using wallpaper to decoupage! Fantastic ideas, I am so glad you did this post! Chrissie x
ReplyDelete~ They do have a 'voice' of there own...And make your home so delightfully cheery! ~ Please don't go 'PING'! and take care, Ada Bea.~ with hugs Maria x

Ooh so many wallpaper cladded wonders. Love all the printers trays, they look fab. Planning a suitcase revamp one day and I know where to go to get my clad. Please don't go ping!! :-) xo
ReplyDeleteHi Ada, lovely piccies, and I do so love those little suitcases! Myself, I've moved away from most of the furniture I decoupaged, but I still have a slight hanker for them! Lx
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of using some on a suitcase ... off to look at you shop :D
ReplyDeleteYou haven't been neglecting your blog at all Ada. I honestly don't know how some find the time to blog daily, and get around everyone else's blogs too...
ReplyDeleteYour ways with wallpaper are inspirational! I think I like the printers trays the best. And the chest of drawers. x
It's all absolutely fabulous! Yummy as multiple scoops of ice cream, all those gorgeous patterns and colours together. You must so enjoy doing all those goodies! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! I love the suitcase makeover.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next time.....?
Nina x
Such gorgeousness!! Love your printers trays and suitcase. So anywhere but the walls, yes?!!
ReplyDeleteI have a little on the walls too! :) x
DeleteWhat would I do if I had some? I think I would buy some beautiful old picture frames, paint them white and then put wall paper under the glass . Hang them in a roupand when I got tired of looking at I would change the paper........
ReplyDeleteBut I love all your ideas Ada, so creative.....
Claire x
Love that idea Claire! :) x

ReplyDeleteWow this looks so colourful and fun!

I absolutely love all your vintage wallpaper projects Ada - I think the cat bed suitcase is my absolute fave :) I have many plans for your lovely wallpaper - just need some time and energy to execute them! Meanwhile they are rolled up and on display where I can see them every day :)
