Historic Wallpapers: In the pink

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

Inspired by the Atomic era (otherwise known as the 1950s and 60s), this reproduction retro wallpaper is handscreened onto a fabric-like wallcovering, known as "liner paper." Sold by the single roll, each roll is 15' long and 27" wide. Pattern repeat is 24". You'll need to buy vinyl wallpaper paste, as this paper is neither prepasted nor pretrimmed.

Price for "Boomerang Pink" (pictured) is $35 per roll. Can't decide on a pattern or color? You can purchase a complete set of 5" by 7" swatches (20 designs) for $18 (March 2005).
