They are vintage French and are very thin paper. (They are now actually beginning to fade in the light!) <BR/>If you have a copy of 'The French Inspired Home' by Kaari Meng, the same shelf edgings in red, can be seen on page 22.<BR/>You could create something similar by printing a design on the computer, or cutting up wrapping paper...<BR/>Hope this helps, Niki.xNiki Fretwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453900065526512512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-36724767933610358842007-03-02T02:07:00.000+00:002007-03-02T02:07:00.000+00:00nikki tell me about the scollped edging in one of ...nikki <BR/>tell me about the scollped edging in one of your cabinets what is it a table cloth edge or paper <BR/>its lovely <BR/>carolcarol pink cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03002516067316802370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30438487.post-42627277544596382912007-03-01T20:06:00.000+00:002007-03-01T20:06:00.000+00:00These pictures look so beautiful I'm very very env...These pictures look so beautiful I'm very very envious of your bathroom!!
