Could wallpaper really be making a comeback? We've all either owned, visited or toured a home that had hideous wallpaper. You know the home, the one when you walk into the foyer and the giant, dated, floral wallpaper is coming at you so hard that you want to turn around and run. Yep, we've all been there. It's scary.
First thought as a prospective home buyer is "Holy cow, how much blood, sweet and tears is it going to take to get that down?" The question is, how many layers of wallpaper are underneath the one layer that you can see? If you're thinking of tackling a wallpaper removal project, check out
HGTV.
Now if you're really adventurous, you might be thinking of actually putting up wallpaper. Say what??! I know, I know, it sounds crazy. But really, could wallpaper look good? The answer is yes! If you get to check out the
Street of Dreams in Lake Oswego this year, they do wallpaper right! It had me wanting to run right out and pick out wallpaper for my house!
If you're thinking of selling your home anytime in the near future, the trick is to find something that you like, but also something that buyers wouldn't run away screaming from. Neutral colors, blacks, whites, greys, something that can stand the test of time when it comes to style.
Wallpaper really does have the ability to look good. But this isn't a task to take lightly, because we all know how it can go wrong so quickly. If you're thinking about adding some style to your bathroom or entryway,
do your research and see if your home could end up looking like these multimillion dollar homes in the Street Of Dreams!

wallpaper you can color (I just can't get behind this idea).
