I am looking for a wallpaper manufacturer who will do a small run of my own designs which I am creating for a children's line. Does anyone know who can do this?

Fabric treatment
All fabrics will age and wear during use. Certain fabrics may acquire new characteristics. These should be considered natural e.g.: all textured or piled fabrics may flatten. Pile may distort. This is inevitable. Any fabric may crease. Linen has a particular propensity. Flat weaves may pill or bobble. This list is by no means exhaustive and natural characteristics will occur.

Hanna’s Treasures has a great selection of the most beautiful vintage papers. The service is great.

They are a bit pricey (Hanna’s is fair) and require a professional, EXPERIENCED paper hanger. The paper is hand blocked/printed and feels so completely different from what is avail. now. It is art.

FLAVOR PAPER in New Orleans. Besides making some awesome paper, it’s also great to support a New Orleans based business!

I recently purchased some wallpaper from FlavorPaper.com – a wallpaper store based out of New Orleans. They have unique designs; I went with the City Park design that is so much fun. It looks like a brocade type paper until you get up close and see that there are fun little “city icons” woven within the brocade design, such as a hydrant, a street meter, even a rat. Crazy, I know, but it looks beautiful, and I love that element of suprise.

One of my favorite sites for wallpaper is “absolute zero designs” I want to paper every thing, even the inside of my car!

i’ve been having the same problem myself about a couple of odd areas in my home, the entryway and the stairwell. after doing extensive research about wallpaper and places to buy it, i’ve been thinking about stenciling instead. this could be tricky to get right, but i love the design of orla kiely’s stem wallpaper and was thinking i could make a similar stencil and use that instead. it might not look as perfect but it would definitely save big bucks!

I also live in Rochester NY and if you want to see some great wallpaper in person there is a darling little paper place called the “NOOK” on Main Street in Pittsford (suburb of Rochester) Welcome to Rochester!
I am moving to Denver soon, but would be glad to answer any questions you may have. Emily

Awesome. We have a 1910 Arts and Crafts home with lots of wood. One of the rooms still has the original windows and paper. I have been wanting to update an area that shares visual space…but didn’t want to research it.

I am so excited to get this project going now…

Oh, gosh. There are so many wallpaper sites and sellers out there. I read Apartment Therapy (apartmenttherapy.com) and they have wallpaper stuff pop up all the time. And they have a good search engine to go through all the content that comes up on the site. It’s a good source site, even if you’re not in an apartment.

Ooh I love this question! I just bought my first wallpaper ever on Candice Olsen’s web site. (She’s from Divine Design – my favorite decorating show ever!) It’s being installed tomorrow and I can’t wait! Love it!

We have been remodeling our 200year home and I have found some great wallpaper at http://www.creativewallcovering.com/wallpaper-specialty.html
I love the fabric idea Molly gave to. You can use fabric just like wallpaper. Dip it in liquid starch and then smooth it on the wall. The best part is you can just peel it off when you are ready for a change!!
I, also, love using brown bags or brown kraft paper on the walls. Check out http://forum.doityourself.com/wallpaper-wallcoverings/288583-wallpapering-w-brown-paper-bags.html Thers is a post by a faux finisher designer on there that gives really clear instructions. The option with this are endless! Have fun!

If you don’t find a wallpaper you like, what about using a great fabric (even one you can design yourself) and hanging that?
