Title: Game room wallpaper border??
Post by: ddaniels on August 09, 2007, 09:16:23 pm

Does anyone know of a place to purchase wallpaper border that relates to an arcade theme?  I'm in the process of planning on painting the walls in my basement where my arcade games reside.  Has anyone ever seen wallpaper border that had say Pacman on it?  I'm sure I'm probablly 20 years too late in looking for a Pacman wallpaper but thought I would ask.  I did some searching on the net but I mostly found border themes dealing with either pool games or card/gambling artwork.  The best one I found has a jukebox theme look here  http://discount-wallcovering.com/images/youth%20&%20sports/RAP149.jpg

Any suggestions would be nice.  Thanks

I've never seen any...but...a border is just a repeating pattern.  Make your own stencil!  i.e. if you want pacman, make one with pac-man, dots, energizer and some ghosts.  I don't think it would be too hard and you could say you did it yourself.

It'll get pricey quick, but you could probably use these if you don't feel like stenciling - http://www.whatisblik.com/iam8bit.html

The smaller decals are 6" each and come in packs of 16 for $30.

I have looked and looked and never found anything. The stencil idea would be neat. I might give that a shot. Maybe I could con my wife into taking it on and selling some on here as a vendor. ;D

Thanks for the help everyone.  I went ahead and ordered the decals from bliks website.  I ordered the blik invaders for around $45.00.  I should post pics when I finally finish the painting.
