Goin' off the rails on a crazy train!

Mary MMM

P.S. We had different contact paper behind our stove for years. My favorite was a red brick pattern.

Con-Tact... when you need more tacky!

Seriously, when I was a kid my mother went through a contact paper phase I wish she hadn't. There was quite a bit of tackiness about in the house for a few years. I wonder if any of that paper is left...

I had no idea that the word contact paper is actually based on a (trademarked?) product name.

As a kid I had to contact my school books by myself. I never got it just right, there were always some creases and air bubbles left. Weaned me off from using the stuff ever since.

What happened when a giant schoolgirl picked up and toyed with her favorite "choo choo train."

Thanks to a recent post, we can date this ad to before 1966 (when Australia metrified its currency). Ah, 5 and 9 as a price instead of cinema times...

...but, wouldn't that stuff melt into crusty plastic on a hot locomotive?

We laugh, but this is essentially what they do to buses and trams when they get those full-length ads on them.

I contact-papered the HELL out of my current apartment. It's a whitewashed nightmare and it needed the occasional block of color to break the monotony.

I really like the gingham and starlight patterns.

That "Cacti" pattern is so mid-century modern it hurts.

[fishstickmarie.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie. I would totally ride this train.

[aisha-ayesha.livejournal.com]

Me too.

My mom was a Contact fanatic: all drawers in the house were lined with it as well as the shelves in the kitchen cabinets. She favoried a small flower pattern for the bedroom dresser drawers, a seashell pattern for the bathroom and gingham in the kitchen. Later, she just went to plain.

I have inherited the tendency to a degree and I use (plain) Contact paper for kitchen drawers and shelves and the drawers in the bathroom vanity--also it makes me think of my mom. :)

Oh, gee…thanks for the image of that! I'll sleep so much better tonight.

My mother bought Contact by the metre fom hardware stores, and still mourns to this day that it's only available in half metre rolls now.

The woman used to put wood-grain Contact over wood!

I gotta say, I really want to put gingham contact paper in all my kitchen drawers
