Hey all,

I built a shelf around the windows in my library that I put plants
on.  I originally glued paper bags down as a type of wallpaper
(shelfpaper).  Water spilling onto
the paper has not been so good (maybe I should have polyu'd it? LOL).
I am looking for an alternative.  I thought about indoor/outdoor
carpet like what is used
on boats.  My wife is concerned about outgassing.  We discussed using
rugs sold by Giam that are made from recycled plastic but 1) we are
sure about the
dimensions and 2) I think Giam is usually overpriced and I don't
particularily like ordering from them.

Anyone have any suggestions?  I am basically for something like a very
thin carpet or wallpaper type of material that is waterproof.  Black
is the preferred color.

Lance
