Guest guest Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 That's a good question Shan. Can't wait to hear some replies. You shouldn't be denied wallpaper if you want it. Heck there are so many things we have to do without because of toxicity. It's not fair! llaci btw, my bedroom has no curtains because of toxicity; kinda sad.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 > Oh I do;t have any curtains either! Sometimes I go to people's houses and look at their window treatments and just sigh with envy! I don;t have rugs or an excess of furniture either-empty is clean! I guess I got used to it but my bathroom (which I have never painted) is starting to bug me and I just want to make it pretty, you know? It would make me happy and that's such a rare commodity these days. > That's a good question Shan. Can't wait to hear some replies. > You shouldn't be denied wallpaper if you want it.

Guest guest Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Some of you may remember a few hotels which were closed due to mold problems, a Hilton in Hawaii, and a Sheraton outside Cincinnati Ohio. In both cases, the mold was prolific behind vinyl wallpaper in bathrooms. The vinyl apparently lets a little moisture get behind it when room humidity is high, such as during showering, but not escape easily. The wallpaper glue and/or the drywall then becomes moldy. Perhaps you can paint, then stencil on a pattern simulating wallpaper without having the problem potential. Is wallpaper toxic?Posted by: " surella baer " surellabaer@... surellabaerDate: Sat Jun 7, 2008 7:57 pm ((PDT)) I want to wallpaper my bathroom but I am being extremely cautious. I know I can get non toxic pastes and glues but what about wallpaper? Are they toxic?Do they offgas? Should I just forget about it and use some safe non toxic paint? Thanks for any suggestions, Surella _________________________________________________________________ Instantly invite friends from Facebook and other social networks to join you on Windows Live™ Messenger. https://www.invite2messenger.net/im/?source=TXT_EML_WLH_InviteFriends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the stencil idea is a good one! Thanks, Surella > Some of you may remember a few hotels which were closed due to mold problems, a Hilton in Hawaii, and a Sheraton outside Cincinnati Ohio.
