Aloha!

I need some ideas for wall coverings for a tiki room. The walls will be painted a tropical green (called 'dried palm', but it looks more like live palm) and I want something to go on the bottom half of the walls-like tiki wainscoating. I have checked Home Depot and Yardbirds to see if they have bamboo/reed fencing, but they don't yet. Also I've checked out the matchstick blinds, but I'm not too crazy about them for the walls.

There are cats involved here, so woven palm matting might not be good.

The room is 16X16, with 3 walls to cover. I need something that will either bend around the corners or be able to be cut at corners and hidden with bamboo.

Any suggestions? They will be installed on sheetrock walls.

One other thing-the foundation on 2 walls is about a foot high-cement, and sticks out about 4" from the wall. So to keep an even height all around the room the material would need to be cut to fit the one inside wall, OR, if possible, we could put a wide 'baseboard' on the inside wall to make it even.

Help!
