Love it but not as much as your beautiful Koi wallpaper.

I spent hours one day last month walking through the wallpaper showrooms at my local design center. Osborne & Little had the best selection and I was surprised how many of them were labeled as washable. We are having our first wallpaper installed soon ... a metallic duo sisal in our guest house. We like the small sample and hope we like it when it covers all the walls!

I also LOVE wallpaper! Once I pick one I never tire of it.
Very soon, I will startlookingfor powder room and laundry room paper. I may even decide to paper my stair risers

Oh the Boa will be perfect in bookcases! Or, on shoes. : )

I can't do wallpaper. My tastes are too fickle. I am a decor amoeba. I think I am selecting things, only to realize I am channeling things I have already seen. I once did an entire bathroom renovation, then walked into one of my favorite local bistros, and realized I had copied it all from them!

I fall in and out of love with rugs, art and bedding. It's terrible.

Id love to see peaks of all the papers you mentioned, Chispa, they sound lovely.

I remember your Koi paper~so pretty as well as unique. That's my winter project~powderoom, master bath, as well as MB closet dressing room. I lovvvvvvvve wallpaper, but know if I sell, it will more than likely have to be removed, but who knows. Is it really any different than having to repaint rooms which have been personalized with color(paint)? Well it is a lot easier to repaint, but in the meantime, not as satisfying to me, personally.

Mtn, come visit LA and we'll go spend days looking at design stuff! I don't know anyone here who enjoys going. Only moved here a few years ago and slowly building my list of good stores to visit. Last 2 weeks I was looking for an area rug, so I now have a good list of stores for that.

Chispa -please post photos when your paper is up!
Holly-kay - I love my koi paper too, but for the back of bookshelves (which will really be display shelves) I have had my eye open for something more subtle, but textural, and that could stand up to the rest of the house ;)
Mtn - I am fickle, too, so I have used the wallpaper sparingly with the exception of the koi in the powder room which does define the entire room. Now that I see how "easy" it is to use paper, I feel less nervous about using it more, if that makes any sense. Maybe I should learn how to hang paper myself?
Jeannie - it's great to hear from a fellow wallpaper lover! Powder rooms and laundry rooms are so much fun! Here is the paper I used in my laundry room (which is a converted 2nd floor bathroom):

I am currently obsessed with the idea of wallpaper, too. Trying to decide whether to wallpaper (1) our teeny tiny powder room and/or (2) the wall behind the headboard in our master bedroom. I still haven't moved beyond looking at pics online, though...

I am torn between wallpaper and stenciling our second floor hall. It's complicated because currently the end of the hallway curves for the spiral staircase and because, should we ever renovate, the hallway bears the brunt of the construction so the paper would be destroyed.

But, I love wallpaper - always have!

Oooh! If you do it, please post. Your koi is so pretty!

I would completely adore wallpaper in our LR. I don't think DH would go for it, though, so I will have to try stenciling.

I love this kind of wall, but with informal, relaxed furniture (minus the Chinoiserie secretary; it can stay)

Or this

A more relaxed look:

Fun:

I think it would bring some life to my dark and minimally-windowed room.

Hello my name is Tina and I have a wallpagper addiction;) I have to admit to decorating my last home around the perfect wallpaper that just screamed it wanted to live at my house.So it did for 16 years. I think the problem with wall paper is when it really works and you love it there is a tendency to keep it forever so it ends up dating the home. I have only used it for focal walls here so far. Well maybe in my daughters bedroom as well but that doesn,t count since I already took it down when we sheetrocked her room.

Oh Marinagal - I love your birds wallpaper!!! Who is is by? I would like something similar - but I would need it to be in the blue family.
I always wanted to put a wallpaper with monkey's in a powder room - DH would never have stood for that! LOL

Now that am live alone - and new house is more modern the beloved monkey pattern just wouldn't work. I want to start looking for paper soon!

I love the koi and the song birds and the Boa is fantastic! I love wallpaper too - I've only done my stair risers so far but am hunting for another spot to paper....there are so many fabulous choices, it will be hard to narrow it down. Cannot wait to see the pics of your built ins once they're done (hint hint) - that is going to look amazing.

SueB - I put paper on an accent wall behind my master bed headboard. I love it, but trying to get the right paint color for the rest of the room drove me mad. I finally figured it out, but it was tough.

Jeannie - that song bird paper is by Schumacher. It's called A Twitter in Summer. It makes my laundry time happy!

Anele - beautiful papers! I have seen that orange one in a magazine and it is super fun and energized. I see it in a Vermont farmhouse.

madenya - so true about the risk of dating a house. My paper is definitely confined to small places!

laurainlincoln - I will def post pics of the boa paper if I use it - it may be a couple of months, however. sigh.
