Teacher's Pet

Recently, Oilcloth International received an email from Susan David, a creative  woman who made-over the teacher's lounge at a local school! Susan made use of our Mariposa Seafoam Green in order to cover a a large set of tables; oilcloth is so easy to clean that this should save those hardworking teacher's lots of time and trouble. Then, Susan used our Paradise Lace Black oilcloth as a creative cover-up for two bathroom sinks; Susan even added a silver rhinestone banding at the top for some extra flare!

Our Mariposa Seafoam Green brightens up this teacher's lounge!

Our "Mosaic Purple" oilcloth is as pretty as a picture! "Mosaic" is a vibrantly detailed print that comes in three different colors: purple, blue, and cafe!

Our "Picnic Check Red" oilcloth is perfect for springtime picnics and summer getaways! This vintage oilcloth print is so stylish and classic; it'd be great to host a group of friends and have this print be the backdrop to some fresh food and drinks!

Ezee-Visit Pet Vet Mat

Oilcloth International is excited to show off the custom print we produced for Ezee-Visit Pet Vet Mat, a company that offers "an innovative product designed with your pet's comfort in mind. Designed to stabilize pets during vet visits, a pet owner or veterinarian can provide the mat to give pets secure footing on any clinic surfaces, such as stainless steel or other types of exam tables, tile floors, and scales. The result is a more relaxed pet, vet and pet owner, and a better quality visit."

Rural Spin

Recently, Rural Spin, a blog that brings "traditional home and garden arts to a new generation," posted this picture of a typical kitchen from the early-mid Twentieth Century and of course oilcloth makes an appearance in the photo! This image was taken by the Farm Security Administration & Office of War Information. As one commentator stated, "this is [a time during which] kitchens weren't about...high priced gadgetry, but the life center of the home. Well worn pieces that were tried and true...[it was] all about simplicity and practicality" (Kris Roup). It makes sense that an oilcloth tablecloth would be a requisite accessory to any home during this time period. Nowadays, some Americans are surrounded by disposability- a throw away tablecloth might be more common in an average household, but it doesn't have to be that way, oilcloth is a sturdy, easy to clean, highly functional fabric that is offered in a variety of prints and colors for you to choose from. In accordance with the modern movement toward sustainability let's all take a note from the past and remember why it's important to invest in enduring products!
