Wall Coverings from Bamboo Fencer

041508fencerlogo.jpgBamboo can be used as beautiful wall covering akin to hardwood paneling or marble. So says the "Bamboo Fencer." We found some cool papers and woven cloths that would bring natural texture to your home's walls...

Clockwise from top left:

These come in 27" and 36" square sheets and should be installed, according to the Bamboo Fencer "with a non-staining wallpaper paste made for grass wallpapers. Regular wallpaper pastes will cause blotchy stains. Grass wallpaper paste is clear when mixed with water, rather than white, and is inexpensive and available in all wallpaper stores."

ok i really want the grasscloth wallpaper look!


QUESTION! if u were gonna use this type of wall treatment, but only on half of the wall (and paint the other half), which half of the wall would u use it on? the top half above the chair rail or the bottom half below the chair rail?

We had this in my childhood home in the early 80s...along with matching brown carpet and a terry-cloth-esque brown couch. Very, uuhhmmm, early 80s late 70s, and not in a good way.

Not to say it couldn't work in a good way, but I just don't think I could detach from memories of that very dated living-room.
