Vintage Artwork

vintage wallcoverings11.jpg Many times in remodels, it is our first instinct to remove and quickly dispose of old existing wallpaper, never to be seen again. Take a moment to find the beauty and artwork in that original wallpaper. If possible, try to salvage a large sheet for a future craft project. My favorite project is to mat and frame a piece of vintage wallpaper as artwork to be leaned on a mantle with pride. You may find the color and pattern you originally found so unappealing, a lot more appealing in a smaller proportion and will link you to the past of your home.
