I want to give a shout-out to Christina Katos at No. 29 Design blog!

Christina approached us a few weeks ago about a project on her to-do list:  covering the back face of the cabinetry in a built-in entertainment center.  Covering the back of a cabinet is a fairly common project for CSP customers.

An issue she had was that Christina chose a damask pattern and wanted the pattern oriented so it ran up and down within the bookcase. Pattern orientation changes are frequent concerns for our customers.

The answer?

We are a printer, so we have a lot of flexibility for this sort of request.  We made a slight change by rotating the pattern 90 degrees and shipped her two rolls of our fine weave fabric material.  Fine weave fabric is what we recommend for vertical services; it has full adhesive backing but a dull finish so there are no reflections.  It is also easily repositionable, or easily removed without residual adhesives after some time, unlike Con-tact Paper™ and some lesser quality shelf paper/drawer liners.

The results? See for yourself—pretty spectacular!

We found Christina’s blog to be a great resource filled with ideas, advice, and project how-tos.  Check it out: No. 29 blog.

Happy decorating!

This was a fun order for us; it’s always rewarding to make a customer happy.

This customer contacted us before ordering and had some questions about how to modify her order to get exactly what she wanted.  I think it came out great!

What do you think?

We received some photos of an awesome cat furniture customization from Chic Shelf Paper customer Donna Lyon in San Francisco.

Donna took a roll of our Cheetah print laminated vinyl and did a simply amazing and creative job in decorating this furniture her cat, um, uses.

Feline theme and wonderful execution really makes this piece come alive. Donna says Montana [the cat] really enjoys the custom quarters to do her business. Check it out:

Great Job Donna!

What are you planning to do with your Chic Shelf Paper? Let us know!

We got a nice mention in a blog post from Nicole at Creative Dish. This is a great little site with lots of cool and interesting ideas for busy people. Nicole did a nice and simple (and inexpensive) project using Chic Shelf Paper’s Mauve Memories pattern to dress up drawers under this bed.

Check out the entire post here!

One note for this project:  Because we are a print-on-demand company we have an incredible amount of flexibility.  With a bit more up front communication about this project, we could’ve actually seam-matched the six drawers on this bed for a cohesive field. If you have a special need like this just let us know an we will do what we can to help execute your project just the way you want it.

I am from upstate New York, near Saratoga Springs, and so I pitched the local papers about writing about Chic Shelf Paper.

Times Union “House Things” columnist Janet Reynolds wrote a lovely blog about Chic Shelf Paper, and really got the sentiment right:

“What better way to celebrate new beginnings than to empty out drawers filled with who-knows-what, cleaning them and then placing lovely, clean shelf paper that immediately brightens your mood as soon as you open the drawer?”

It’s the details…the little things that inspire a quality life.  For me, in the morning it’s good coffee and a decorative mug. In the bath, it’s quality towels.

And that’s what inspired Eric and I to create Chic Shelf Paper. Who wants white plastic paper when they can look at Flower Riot?
