Is it a Yeti or a Ghost? Shadows of the Paranormal Wallpaper

I’m not afraid to admit that I’m an absolute sucker for beautiful wallpaper. Make it one-color wallpaper in a modern or abstract pattern and I’m easily sold. I haven’t gotten around to actually buying any of this wallpaper yet, mostly because of a fear I’ll completely ruin it when trying to install it. That, and as much as I like the concept, I haven’t been able to select a wall that I’d want to see completely covered in wallpaper. Nonetheless, this Shadows of the Paranormal Wallpaper by Pottok Prints is going on the short list of wallpapers I’d eventually love to try. Specifically, the black and white version. I love the abstract print, and the name gives you a clue into the whimsical nature of the pattern. From the product description:

The Paranormal Wallpaper follows a day in the life a friendly neighborhood creature. Sasquatch? Yeti? Who knows? He’s just going about his business, maybe looking for a friend to talk to, and reflecting on his humble life.

I think I’d probably start small, maybe using the wallpaper on a small section of the wall framed by painted black molding. Think a large-scale abstract art installation. Or if I ever get around to finding another beautiful piece of storage furniture to refurbish, perhaps I’d use it on the doors. I’d have to let my creative juices stew on that last idea for a long while before I’d actually try it.

There are still a few questions about the wallpaper though, like whether the price is per roll, double-roll or sheet, and what the dimensions of the paper are. And it is on the pricey side, particularly if you plan to wallpaper a large area. Still, it is stylish enough to make these questions totally worth asking.

Why It’s Green:

• Hand-silkscreened on untreated recycled paper
• Uses with water-based inks

Price: $140
