Band on the Run
It’s like skinny wallpaper. But I wouldn’t say it’s like a wallpaper border. And here’s why. I hate wallpaper borders, especially ivy. There, I said it. Let the flogging begin… But before any serious backlash ensues, let’s talk a little more about what makes these Wallbands from Twenty2 so cool. First they’re meant to go anywhere on the wall, not just the tippy top. Plus they come in five pre-pasted, washable, easily removable wall patterns. That last part is key. It’s one of the reasons why wallpaper borders inspire such ire in me. Once they’re up, there’s no way to get that little row of ducks, rowboats or hearts off the blasted wall without copious amounts of scraping and scary chemicals. Let’s usher in a new era of wall accessories. It’ll be a kinder, gentler and possibly even more stylish time. Enjoy!

Ah, a kindred spirit! Finally, someone else who loathes wallpaper as much as I do. I was beginning to think I was alone in my dislike for wall coverings. I’ve been doing some house hunting lately, and I’m astounded at the volume of really tacky wallpaper out there. How can so many people have such little taste? Next time, I’ll try to get a picture so I can snag some bonus points.
I salute the creator of this removable wallpaper.
I used a wood-look wallpaper border once to see if I’d like having wood molding in a room… it helped me see the possibility…. it’s still there!!… it looked good enuff to keep it for now!!…
these wallpaper strips are a great idea, but I’ll wait until some more patterns arrive….I’m one who LOVES wallpapers….
