I love wallpaper!

I love wallpaper and I have for years. In our old house, I wallpapered our office a grasscloth which became my sewing room and eventually Lila's nursery. I wallpapered one wall in our bathroom which I have to say looked pretty great. The last room I wallpapered before we moved was the girls' playroom. It was such a fun room and I miss it. Who wouldn't want to play in a room full of stripes?



We have three wallpaper projects in our new house, two of which have been completed. We were planning on painting around the fireplace in our family room to cover up the dark green walls that, in my opinion, made the room look smaller. Unable to match the existing paint on the other walls, we decided to go with wallpaper. An easy choice! This blue/teal lattice pattern is from Bouclair. One complaint I have is that it did have a tendency to rip if not careful. One of the downfalls of a great price.



The second project is the master bedroom. I love the look of big, bold flowers in a bedroom. The hard part was choosing from the many patterns and colours. We ended up going with a pattern from Home Depot and we couldn't be happier. The walls before were a pale yellow which were painted a white called Milk Moustache (blogged here.) I don't mind hanging wallpaper. I don't find it hard, just tedious but we will be hiring someone to do project #3!


I'll say it again. I love wallpaper!
