This stunning Chinoiserie room with its beautiful de Gournay wallpaper was done by Martha Angus. She then used scraps of the wallpaper (bottom photo) covered with plexiglass for a beautiful DIY holiday table. Clear contact paper could also be used to protect the paper from spills. I have leftover Chinoiserie wallpaper from projects and would love to try this to create my own Chinoiserie placemats.
What a wonderful idea dahhhling, beautiful papers covered by a plexiglass cover.. brilliant! soo inspired.
ReplyDeleteYou could also laminate the paper, for a more durable finish than Contact paper. I might even be inclined to use 3 layers of paper - 2 with the wallpaper (or other printed paper), with a piece of white paper sandwiched between them. Laminate both sides, and you have reversible placemats. Just a thought. :)
ReplyDeleteGenius! I need to dig out my scraps and do this!
