OK, I tricked you...sort of. I work for a roof truss manufacture/lumber yard. I'm in need of some 1/4" plywood but we don't usually sell anything under 1/2". The yard foreman was looking around for anything they might have laying around and came across this...

It's a 1/4" thick 4x8 sheet(not wall paper) with this pattern on it. The funny/cool thing about it is that it's EXACTLY the same stuff that was on the entryway walls in the house I grew up in. Dad built the house himself in 1975. In the early 90's this beautiful pattern was painted over during a remodel. laugh2 These have to be some of the last NOS pieces in existence. They might have to find their way home with me just for nostalgia's sake.

Oh hell yes! That is awesome. Get at least one sheet & just keep it! That's amazing.

Whoa.....I've seen that pattern before in a long abandoned resort many years ago (long gone now). I didn't look closely, I thought it was wallpaper. Cool!
