I haven’t been consistent in posting on Fridays, but today, on my last Friday at home before I head back to a 40 hour work week, I wanted to inspire you to give wallpaper a second chance. This isn’t your grandma’s dated wallpaper covered with oversized floral patterns. This is spunky, bright, and hip. Try it on just one wall in an entry or bathroom. You won’t be sorry!

Seriously, how fun would this be if you were a little girl (or a big girl?) You pick your colors and fill in with paint pens, markers, or colored pencils!

These papers are pricey, but a little bit goes a long ways. You may think it’s a little loud, but think of it on one wall of a bedroom. Love it! (FONTETTE W6012/01-05 & MAHARANI W6022/01-07)

This paper is more subtle, but it’s beautiful in person and comes in multiple colorways.

This paper makes me smile. From a distance it just looks like a pattern, but it’s name—Baaa—gives it away. They are grazing sheep!

This post makes me miss working at Country Home where I got to order wallpaper samples to my little heart’s content. I made Christmas gifts for my girlfriends with leftover wallpaper scraps.
