I remember doing that at school, too. I remember one student covered his geography book with an old OS map and I thought it was an amazing idea. Love the sound of the stylised fruit and veg on black and white blobs... very 1950s.Felicity Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914100900983932997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811275082879973036.post-68898859648617427982011-11-18T09:09:40.584-08:002011-11-18T09:09:40.584-08:00In the late 1950s, I remember wallpaper being put ...In the late 1950s, I remember wallpaper being put on the fireplace wall of our sitting room in a very ordinary semi. There was a vogue for "contemporary" design (ie modernist but not necessarily destined to be retro in the future) & this wallpaper fitted into that aesthetic. It was black with big amoeba-ish white blobs. In the white blobs were overlapping stylised shapes of fruit & veg in bright colours. We had to cover our schoolbooks in paper in those days, & I thought this wallpaper would make a nice change from the usual brown wrapping paper. It attracted a good deal of comment, much of it verging on ridicule, from my classmates.Moirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436871093642887681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7811275082879973036.post-70207377068753572212011-11-17T05:13:56.186-08:002011-11-17T05:13:56.186-08:00We had this amazing wallpaper in our bathroom in t...We had this amazing wallpaper in our bathroom in the 70s. It was pretty psychedelic - not the colours fortunately, but there were swirls of blues, greens silver and gold. Appropriately watery.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546239832767465553noreply@blogger.com
