Wallpaper Is Back

jubilant · ‎06-10-2010

I like a little wallpaper in my home....even if it's on just one wall. I find this one to be as described..... "fresh". It speaks to me. Are you glad wallpaper is making a come back?

I like the wallpaper pictured and do like a little of it. The last time I had to remove wallpaper (many years ago, maybe 25) I decided I would never again use wallpaper. Removing it is just awful for me. I did it exactly like you're supposed to.

I swore the same thing! They SO lie! No matter what gizmo or product or procedure you use....it is awful to remove!

Having said that....I have a very small backsplash wall in our basement. It is a small kitchen alcove.

I went through a million tile samples...nothing was filling my vision! I ended up just painting it for the time being til the perfect thing comes a long.

I have sorta been considering looking at wallpaper now! Lord help me! LOL

We had a terrible time removing the wallpaper from our previous home...and every room was covered in wallpaper.

That scared me for life...no more wallpaper for me.

I like wallpaper, but in small doses. The problem for me is that I eventually get tired of it, except for the one in my office. Years ago, the Q had a wallpaper removal system where you put sheets attached to your wall, let the product sink in, and then remove the wallpaper. It was very easy. Unfortunately, I loaned mine to someone and never got it back.

It's not back for me. Dislike wallpaper and I do not even consider a home if there is any amount of it on the walls.

Once you wallpaper the walls are never the same should you decide to remove it and paint. Additionally, I would tire of a paper and want to update, and that too is a production.

Fortunately, I'm not really a "print person" in any area of my life whether it be decorating or fashion, so I will survive without giving into any temptation I might feel for wallpaper.

About 20 years ago I was selling my house and the realtor said I absolutely had to get rid of the wallpaper in one of my bedrooms. She made it sound like I'd never sell the house if I didn't. It was just a nice muted flower print I put up in a victorian themed room, nothing horrendous. Anyway, it took me forever to get down that wallpaper and I actually sold the house before it was all down. So I don't think it impeded the sale in any way.

I also swore no more wallpaper, but here I am, 20 years later with wallpaper in one of my bedrooms again. It's rather low-key and unobtrusive... I like it. And if or when I sell this house, the buyers can turn up their noses at it all they want. I'm not taking it down this time!

Man plans. God laughs.

When I spruced up my bathrooms, I chose wallpaper, subdued patterns. I don't regret it at all. I don't care for those wild, loud patterns that I see on HGTV, even if it's just for one wall. And I don't care for the shoes Joanna chose for that outfit...Meow.

I have a wallpaper border in my den that I love. At this stage of life I will not be adding any wallpaper to my home. I have seen wallpapers that I really liked and would have definitely considered if I were younger and doing some decorating.
