wallpaper/border help

[o-nikki-o.livejournal.com]

i have decided (finally) how i want to decorate my kitchen.  i picked up an adorable pair of salt & pepper shakers at cracker barrel a while back - tiny little toadstools, and as i already have a mushroom cookie jar i figure i'll just go from there.  i'd like to put a mushroom border of some kind up on the walls but i'm not finding what i really want.  there's a ton of vintage mushroom kitchen stuffs out there & while i like it, i don't want my kitchen done in only brown & orange :/

i've come up with a few options & would like some feedback :)

1 - buy a wallpaper i like (still haven't found THE ONE yet) & cut it into strips to use as border

2 - buy peel & stick decals (again if i can find some i like) and use those as a border

3 - buy white border (or maybe white with blue trim) and use stencils/stamps to add my own mushrooms

i really don't want to stamp/stencil/paint directly on the walls as we are currently renting.  are there any options i haven't thought of?

i'm trying not to break the bank here...i found a wallpaper i loved...but at $156 a roll...um yeah...NO.
so help me out here please, grrls...i need me some mushrooms :D



ETA:  thanks for the suggestions :)  i love the fabric idea...just maybe not for the mushrooms.  i see new decorations in my daughter's future...lol
