I used vintage tapa cloth as wallpaper, came out really good! But ya gotta spend a lot of time searching to find some thats affordable enough to paste on the wall. Ebay searches did it for me over a few months. Reed fencing can get pretty trashed by cats too. I discovered how much cats love to sharpen their claws on natural materials like that. The grass wallpaper would be a good choice. Another option might be tatami matting, the woven rice stalk matting used as flooring in traditional Japanese homes. Or what about a vintage style tropical bark cloth or other tropical fabric? TC is loaded with creative minds, I'm sure you'll find the ideal wall covering... be sure to post some pics of your finished work. |
