I've had wallpaper in the past and I miss it dearly. I always had it in my kitchen.

I moved and keep trying to figure a way to add it to my effiency kitchen but I can not seem to come up with a solution that I think I can live with. I may have to forego wallpaper until my next apartment. I will definetly be looking at the kitchen walls of a new place with wallpaper in mind.

I guess I could try it in some other room of my apartment but would probably need lots of hand holding in order to do so.

I've thought about painting on wall paper also as a alternative to wallpaper.

Meanwhile I hang onto the phone # of the master paper hanger I hired the last time I papered my old kitchen just in case.

Also I have hung wallpaper myself as well as hired someone to do it.

I'd consider it on a feature wall or inside of moulding but not a whole room. I change my mind way too often to commit to wallpaper. I would also hate it in a kitchen as I think kitchens can easily become too cluttered and busy even without wallpaper.

I rented a new apartment this Spring and put wallpaper up in the entryway, even though I'm going to have to remove it if/when I move.

i've torn wallpaper down. that is all. wallpaper is evil. i'd rather see them improve upon stenciling than wallpapering. ugh.

I loathe wallpaper. Too permanent to change regularly. Difficult if not impossible to clean. It's ALWAYS so five minutes ago.

I rent, and based on the terms of my rental contract wallpaper (or paint for that matter) just isn't an option. I have thought seriously though about finding scraps of vintage paper to frame as art in my living room. I've done something comparable with chiyogami washi paper in my bedroom to good result.

I desperately wish I could wallpaper my little rental...but alas. I recently found out that my mother used the starch and fabric method with some old sheets to cover the walls of my childhood room and I think I may have her help me witha similar project the next time she visits.

Our house back East had wallpaper in almost every room, including the bathrooms, all at the acme of little-old-lady style circa 1988. And she'd paid for a good paste job with high-end, non-strippable paper -- it would not come down! Not with steam, not with lacerating, not with scraping, not with begging and pleading, not with special stripper materials, not with anything. In the kitchen, we finally skim-coated a fresh wall surface over the recalcitrant wallpaper.

If I'd ever liked wallpaper -- which I don't, 'cause it's a patterned surface larger than a moderate rug -- that experience would have changed my mind.

im in love with so much of the wallpaper ive seen lately! ive had several samples sent to my house because i cant quite figure out which i want to put on two walls in my kitchen. i rent, but my landlords let me decorate, cause they like my taste and i've ended up improving the property.

While I have seen gorgeous wallpaper recently -- after buying my house and spending weeks stripping hideous wallpaper and glue, I don't think I could ever bring myself to use it in my home. Too permanent, too much trouble. If I want a patterned wall, I will paint it. I would wallpaper the inside of a bookcase, though... I like that look.

I love wallpaper but rent so cannot do it. I especially love toiles as you have pictured above. Wallpaper has become much more adventurous in recent years -- there is some really amazing stuff out there now in terms of patterns & colors. It ain't your granny's calicos.

that's a beautiful wallpaper. what is it?

silly me! i should learn to read

One of my favourite quips has to do with wallpaper:

"Either this wallpaper goes, or I do". (Oscar Wilde's last words)

I've pretty much been a paint person all my life, as it is hard to hang art on wallpaper. But having been exposed to UK trends through Living ETc. and UK Elle Decoration, I am warming to the idea. Still a bit wary though... I hate wallpaper that is painted over, which is what we have in our rental.
