Wallpaper Makes a Comeback
(ARA) - Since Oprah an
nounced on her TV show that
“wallpaper is back’’ and Time
Magazine called wallpaper
“hip’’ and the “latest passion’’
of interior designers, the
plain painted wall seems a bit
boring.
If you haven’t given your
walls much thought since last
agonizing over paint chips,
now is the time to consider
today’s new wallpaper and
wall decor products. It’s like
switching from traditional
to high-definition TV -- you
won’t see walls the same
way ever again. Wallpaper’s
sharper image has everything
companies produce easy-hang
“non-woven’’ wall coverings,
which are easy to hang and
remove. Installing non-woven
wall coverings can be faster
than painting, which requires
preparing the wall surface
(wallpapers always hide a
myriad of blemishes), apply
ing primer and at least two
coats of paint.
Non-woven wall coverings
adhere to walls with magnet-
force, yet are easily reposi-
tionable. Unlike pre-pasted,
paper-backed wallpapers,
non-woven wallpapers do
not expand or contract on the
wall, so seams won’t ever
rock. A quick tug at a corner
of these eco-friendly wallpa
pers brings entire sheets down
in minutes without damaging
walls. This makes wallpaper
a viable option for renters,
who can even roll the sheets
and use them in another home
when they move.
Natural Textures
Wallpaper companies have
always produced eco-friendly
wallpapers such as naturally
textured sea grass, bamboo,
grasscloth, silk, burlap and
jute -- but only for the high-
end of the market. Recent
technological advances have
made them both far more af-
Several new businesses have located in Lee County including Chili’s
and IHOP. The property at U.S. Hwy 19 South and Forrester Parkway
is being developed.
Several road paving, widening and extension projects using grants
and SPLOST funds have been completed or are planned including
Cedric Street, Graves Springs, Palmyra Road, Hickory Grove, Long
Dirt and Mayhaw Road.
to do with advanced technol
ogy incorporated into striking
designs to suit the way we live
today.
These are just a few of the
wallcovering innovations that
add a designer’s touch to your
decor without breaking the
bank:
Easy-Hang Wallpapers
Almost all wallpaper
separate — in fact, they virtu
ally disappear.
Made from a blend of natu
ral and synthetic fibers found
in common household prod
ucts like tea bags and coffee
filters, non-wovens are tear-
resistant during installation
and removal. Forget about
using steamers and chemicals
to pry wallpaper off sheet-
fordable and colorful. Natural
wall coverings are now
available in fashion-forward
peacock blue, silver, gold,
kiwi and violet.
For a designer touch, cover
the archway or support walls
of a great room with a natu
rally-textured wallpaper to
envelop the room in warmth.

The current year budget does not require a transfer from the reserve
fund to finish out the fiscal year. This is the first budget in six years
that did not require a transfer from the reserve fund account.
The budget just passed will not require a tax increase.
