Flea Market Shopping List: Recycled WALLPAPER ~ Newspaper, Postcards & Books, OH MY
Seems like people have been saying that wallpaper is making a comeback for a while now… so is it still coming or are we there yet?? Wallpaper is a great way to makeover a space if you are on a limited budget ~ with a good wallpaper you can make a plain white box of a room into a rustic retreat, the OK Corral, or a fancy living room.

But here’s a GREENER approach to wallpaper, a way to spend virtually nada and also have a room that is completely unique to your style & taste… use recycled paper goods as wallpaper. It can be anything you love, or you just think looks good…

Sheet music * pages from your favorite novel or book of poems * pages from a Dr. Seuss book for your kiddos * POSTCARDS {ABOVE} ~ I particularly love this one. I think it would be out-of-control-cool to do an entire bathroom in nothing but vintage cactus postcards.

Maps * Vintage Photosgraphs * Newspaper ~ the sports page for the man’s room and sheets from New York Fashion Week for the girl’s room.

Rodeo posters, MENUS, Wrapping Paper {ABOVE} ~ in this image from Design*Sponge they used wrapping paper to line the back of these shelves, and also suggested using wallpaper to line your drawers…. ’cause who doesn’t want something pretty to look at when your going for your socks every morning??
The list goes on and on but the idea is simple ~ don’t throw stuff away!!
Recycle * Repurpose * RE~LOVE
