Kim, thanks for including all these great links! I saw so many inspiring things to create with paper bags. I once papered my walls with them- the look was similar to leather. Sue

  Well yeah! Wallpaper would be awesome-I love the look of flooring but am so skeptical that It would hold up to dogs and little kids. Wallpaper would look SO cool and have less wear and tear.

All such neat ideas! I think my favorite one is the one that has the bag wrapped around the vase of flowers! It’s so country looking and I love it:)
