Kitchen wallpaper dilemma

Linda Railsback

11 years ago

Has wallpaper gone out? I have faux painted neutral colored vinyl wallpaper in my kitchen and breakfast room. I like it because I can scrub it clean but we have put our house on the market and that is the major complaint. Clients say that it dates the house. Comments?

A photo would help but It can definitely date the house. That being said, we bought our current home almost 2 years ago filled with dated wallpaper...seriously, FILLED. The house was so nice making it a no-brainer to look beyond the bajillion yards of mega-patterned wallpaper. So...it can date the house BUT didn't stop us from grabbing this lovely home.

BTW, we hired someone to come and remove all the wallpaper. Took 4 guys 4 days but was well worth it. No way we would have tackled that job!
