Hi, I am searching for textured / embossed wallpaper with small cobblestone bricks (suitable for 28mm) or square "red" bricks. I will be painting over the wallpaper so the texture and scale are most important. Anyone know where I can find this? My "google-fu" is not working to well this morning. Thanks,

What country are you in? I found some at Lowes last year, Home Depot never had it when I was searching. |

Hi, I'm in the states, NJ to be specific. I'll have to go to Lowe's and have a look. Every time I've gone to HD I've come back empty handed. Thanks! |

I picked a roll of this stuff up at Lowe's just a couple of weeks ago. $15 USD for a roll of maybe 12 ft???? Not sure of the length, but it is in square (maybe 1/2" squares) about two feet wide. I'm not at home so I can't check the real dimensions, but it's gonna make great road ways/walls for fantasy gaming. When you go into the wallpaper aisle there are little alcoves covered with doors that have a sample piece of the material inside, so you have to open the door to get the roll of a particular print/pattern (this took me a couple of passes to figure out…d'uh!). The brick pattern could be used for 'modern' walls/floors, too, though the pattern is a bit irregular and crumbly looking. The tiles in white with some brown washing would make good 'institutional' walls, like hospital/asylum tiled walls. There are also nice options in the floor aisle, too, with ceramic tile. Four pieces of those blocks at $3 USD a pop isn't a bad, quick alternative to a paved street or similiar 'fantasy' flooring option. |

AC Moore craft stores have doolhouse aisles. Look there, too. |

Let's try that again…
This time, try "Dollhouse" AC Moore craft stores have dollhouse aisles. Look there, too. There, that looks better. |

What's a doolhouse, John?…Is that a "Pennsylvania thing?" |

The best I have found was at Lowe's. Not 100% perfect, but close. Home Depot was a wash when I looked there. |

Thanks for all the replies. I'll be going to Lowes (as I want to cover a fair bit of table with this stuff) and will let you all know how it turns out. |
