Have you ever ripped down wallpaper before?
The house I grew up in had every flat surface wallpapered. From the ceilings to the floors this place was covered in wallpaper... and it wasn't the pretty floral kind, oh no, it was a medley of farm animals, especially cows. I think the original owners woke up one afternoon (after a heavy night of partying) and said "lets cover our house in tacky cow wallpaper! We'll be the envy of all our neighbors!" Obviously the drugs they were on the night before were still heavily in their systems. Needless to say, after the party was over they sold the house to my mom who saw it's "potential." I never really had a choice when it came to reMOOOving the cows. It was just something that had to be done. Their little beady black eyes followed me around the house. I was never alone, they were haunting my dreams.
Long story short I hate wallpaper (and cows). So it's kind of ironic that 15 years later, while designing the next Mid-Century Modern flip I stumbled across some nifty designer wallpaper (no cows here) just fun colors, textures and designs. Call me crazy but I think I'm going to go for it. I've decided to stick with the guest bathroom, that way they can use the steam from the shower to peel it off the walls 20 years from now, while they talk about how much crack I must have been smoking when I decided to put it up.
What's your favorite design? Grey bubbles? Green twigs? or Blue leaves?
