::wallpaper fun::

Remember the vinyl wallpaper our parents had in the kitchen? Before the rising popularity of semi-gloss paint, vinyl wallpaper was the wall treatment of choice. It cleans up easily and there are thousands of patterns to choose from...not necessarily good patterns, but choices nevertheless. Of course no one ever told us, until recently, that vinyl is a highly toxic carcinogen that pollutes not only our bodies but the environment as well. The canals of Venice, Italy are dirty not only because of hundreds of years of medieval dumping, but because of the toxic waste being produced by a vinyl factory nearby. Eeek!

Inke Heiland of the Netherlands brings us hand-cut vintage and new wallpaper patterns in fun, modern motifs. For the tree-hugger in you, check out the eight-foot tall tree. You even have the option of choosing the color palette according to the month of year!

For the animal-lovers, there is a menagerie of animals to choose from: monkey, crocadile, giraffe, elephant, ostrich, birds and lion. Rrroarrr!!!
