Violet border

ASUADPi · #1 08-14-2004, 07:42 PM

Okay here's the thing. Like I mentioned in Prayer Requests I am trying to buy my first home. If all works out one of the things I would like to do is have each room it's own "theme". One of the rooms I would really like to have an ADPi theme going on, since ADPi is such a huge part of my life. So I was thinking of having a Violet border and then paint the room a purple color, thing is I can't seem to find a Violet border. Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to look? If I have to order online that is fine, but I would love this.

Sticking with the whole ADPi theme does anyone know where I could find cute Lion border?

(am I just a little obsessed with ADPi? LOL)

I know wal-mart once had violet wallpaper in their bathroom decor, but I don't know if they still do.

I didn't have any luck searching just for lion wallpaper borders, unless you want lion king. But here is a safari wall paper that would look great! (And you could use lots of animal print too.

There is a beautiful violet border made, I think by Waverly. They do an entire violet themed room, both for a bedroom and for accenting any other room - wallpaper, border, fabric, tablecloth, and bed linens. I've seen this in a few catalogs (JC Penney's was one), but it can be overpowering. I'll do a search & see what I find for you!

And this one is a little more "shabby chic":

The going bid for this is 99¢...

LOL - the other border I posted is in the Chapter Room at Alpha Iota!

Of course, the wallpaper that's in their entrance hallway is the same that's in my mother's bathroom - that vinyl type!

Both of those borders were in the old UNT Chapter room, before we were lucky enough to have a house. It will be interesting to see if they resurface in the new house.

There is several others as well. Let me contact my old boss at the Interior Design firm I was at and talk to her about it. We had books and books and books of borders and I remember finding like 15 diff ones before. I know too that I had a diff one then the ones shown when I was in college, my step mom bought me a comforter and sheets set and it came with a violet border, let me see if I can find out that name too. Ill get back to you on all that.

If not, I do know at a lot of craft places you can either buy a foam stamp in the shape of a violet, or you can do look at their painting things and there is like a violet print you can do as a border, both are pretty cute.
