I have enough to do a chair rail in my dining room, but we've scrapped the idea. However, I'd like to still somehow incorporate it. Have you seen any creative uses for wallpaper that don't necessarily involve applying it to the wall?

I've already covered my switch plates with it.

Frame it? i'm not too creative.

the back of a shelf, bookcase, china cabinet maybe?

yea..i had a piece framed at my old house (where did that thing go?)

you can cover photo boxes in it (or other larger organizer type boxes. You can cover the back of a bulletin board in it. You can use it on the matting of a picture if it isnt super busy

Yeah - it's subtle. I bought blank switchplate covers again tonight, in case I can't figure out a way to incorporate the ones I covered.

No excess pieces of furniture in there to play with.

I do like the idea of framing. It's hand-writing - different coffee words in various prints and fonts and script. (ie. recipes for espresso drinks, cinnamon, cafe au lait, espresso, etc.)
