I'm shocked I didn't see your link the first time, arsey, since I LOOVE vintage wallpaper. :)

Yeah, I was gonna say that some of these are patterned so that you can actually use them on your monitor. I only found a couple though.

Oh gawd, stop! I'm already nursing a heavy wallpaper addiction after finding the tapetorama goldmine of old wallpapers in Malmö. I got gold in pencil-thin stripes raining down my livingroom, 1950's roses and gold in my diningroom, Perle picked 1960's green roses for her room and I haven't hung the 1930's green, black, silver and white water lilies wallpaper in my hallway yet. And there are more rooms to sort out! WEEEE!

Sweet. I live across the road from the Timorous Beasties shop, so I almost spend enormous amounts of money on wallpaper every day...

A little image trimming and I'll bet nearly all of the will be tile-able for a computer desktop... if I have nothing better to do, I might just try...

sorry, should've linked here tapetorama collection. Now, on the left under the orange headline font "vårt sortiment" you click "tapeter och bårder" and the middle widget will now give you drop down menus. Just click "visa" (at the bottom) to see all. Or drop down some menus like Bakgrundsfärg (background color) to choose a base color. Or just surf by year if you use the drop-down menu Årtal at the top.

My man wants the flamingos in the upstairs hallway. I'm not so sure. He's decided this for one wall in the bedroom. I can live with that.

Also I have nine rolls of pencil-thin stripes of gold left over that I have to sell on (it's too much cash out to just leave, nine rolls will do a medium sized room). Know anyone who'd fancy some of this? :)

ah, very nice! I love the paper for your bedroom... not too crazy about the flamingos, though.
