I'm looking for some wallpaper with a water theme. Not computer screen wallpaper but the kind you put on the wall.

Try searching google for wallpaper water or wall paper water or wallpaper home water

all I get is puter screen wallpaper.


GOOGLE SUCKS

I love this stuff - so many themes to choose from. I may get an Italian mural to cover part of the mirrored wall in the dining room. Something like:

That link reminded me that when we moved into this house as it had a hand painted mural covering the top half of one wall. We hated it. First thing we covered up but it was a pain in the butt to redo because it took so much sanding. We also knocked out a wall and opened things up. The prior owners stopped by a few years later (I knew him from work) and were amazed at the difference - it was the first thing they noticed. "Oh, I see the mural's gone."

Yep!!!

I have a call into those peeps. If applying it like wallpaper is the only way to hang it, then it won't work where I want it (over part of the mirror).

Deb, I like that stuff too. I always have a hard time completing the decor after I re-do a room. I don't get the finished look I want.

When I re-did the kitchen, I almost had the painter guy, put one of those up on the dining area wall. He said he had done a few, framed them out, the whole bit.

But I never did get around to having it done.....

We have a room that has a beach scene mural on one wall. It's framed in pecky cypress. The rest of the room is cypress tongue and groove and is knd of dark. It really add another dimension to the room.

You get fade to them after a few years, they don't seem to hold color as well but they're easy to put up and take down. I think we've had 3 different tropical beach scenes in it over the years.

You can also have them custom done from a picture of anything you want. That's not that expensive to do anymore.
