That is one trend I will not be following. I have removed a ton of ugly wallpaper (that I am sure was pretty to someone at sometime)from my house. It is a ton of work, no thanks!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635189855014852222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-18759053600284607662009-02-26T11:54:00.000-08:002009-02-26T11:54:00.000-08:00Unless it's just a magnificent pattern that will b...Unless it's just a magnificent pattern that will be loveable for 15 years, I feel safer being "in" with throw pillows.<BR/><BR/>It can also be hard to remove. I'm stripping some from a house we purchased and assume the wall wasn't primed first, as the top layer of sheet rock (I love plaster) is comeing off, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-58734520944042495352009-02-16T16:18:00.000-08:002009-02-16T16:18:00.000-08:00Twelve years ago my husband and I bought our first...Twelve years ago my husband and I bought our first home, an old Georgian style home built in 1974. Of course, when we first walked inside, it was 1974 all over again! The house was covered with shag carpeting and mirrored wallpaper on every available square inch. I promised my new home, from that day forward, I would spare it the burden it of such a decorator's mess. I love new trends but shag rugs and bold wallpaper prints?

My home...well the upstairs at least is COVERED in not one, but TWO layers of wallpaper (over plaster walls mind you) and not only that but EACH layer of wallpaper is covered in...oh...I'd say three or four layers of paint!!! ARGH!!! I HATE wallpaper and I hate even more when people are too lazy to REMOVE wallpaper before painting! ! ! lol (Can you tell I've been removing wallpaper for awhile??)

I guess because I came of age in the 80s and don't ever want to see another "country" style border with ducks or chickens. :)<BR/><BR/>I once thought I would paper a powder room with a red toile, but I just couldn't commit. I just can't say that in five years I would still like it, and the investment is too high. A can of paint is a much more affordable solution if you pick the wrong color, but the wrong wallpaper is another story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-86551016927362731402009-02-05T20:11:00.000-08:002009-02-05T20:11:00.000-08:00Hello!

While I'm not entirely convinced that wallpaper is all that bad (I do long for handpainted Chinese paper in my dining room, but that's unlikely to every happen!), I enjoyed your blog very much and also your Jewel Box Home website. Is that your sweet-looking little Cavalier in your house picture album? I have two of my own.
