Funny, but now that wallpaper is all over my FB newsfeed, but the pink version that IL favors.

I love wallpaper but haven’t done it in a long time. You need someone really good to hang it in order to look nice. I now use accent walls. I love the wallpaper Catherine.
Hanging wallpaper is in DH's DNA--his mother and grandmother wallpapered the house silly with all kinds of wallpaper. Mostly flocked because they lived in an old house with plaster walls. Of course, they made DH help, so he's had good training, and I'm not bad myself. This will be a piece of cake because we are not wallpapering a large area.

For me, I've removed too much wall paper to ever want to hang any more. However, I do like the idea of wall murals.
All that said, I definitely do NOT have a "decorating" gene.

Oh that wasn't a complaint, just an observation. It's pretty enough that I don't mind seeing it.
I know, I’m so hesitant in adding wallpaper because it’s so hard to get off. But they do have the new peel and stick types so I might consider that type. Even landlords, at least some landlords,’s claim they don’t mind peel and stick wallpaper on their rental properties.For me, I've removed too much wall paper to ever want to hang any more.

It is the combo of wallpaper and the latest versions of wallboards which make removal difficult, very very difficult. Did I say difficult enough times?
As Cicero said, “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.”
Oy, is that it?
i dunno, I remember my parents trying mightily to get wall paper off their plaster walls in the big house. Tons of wallpaper. They tried several methods and then, I believe, the end process that was most successful was to burn it off.
And they they turned around and—-put up wall paper! Haha. In the double parlor, a gorgeous room, they put up red flocked wallpaper, kinda reminiscent of Miss Kitty’s whorehouse.they made some bold decorating choices.
one time my dad painted a bathroom black and stenciled gold stars everywhere on walls. That was Out There. But we kids thought it was great.
