One day soon though, the ugly wallpaper will be all gone and my chosen colors will allow my house to attain the beauty potential that has been smothered by ridiculous wallpaper choices.
Here are some swatches of the horrible wallpaper I'm having to deal with. You might not hate it as much as I do, but it is ugly all the same.
This is the wallpaper in the dining room.
Why would anyone use flowers like this, let alone have them in stripes up and down the wall?
The downstairs bathroom, that was the master bath.
This is the worst wallpaper I think I've ever seen. A plaid used in a bathroom that has harvest gold bathroom fixtures - sink, toilet, and tub. Does it seem like this would match?
The wallpaper going up the stairs.
I tend to like fun paisley stuff, but this is dark, making the stairs darker. Definitely not the worst wallpaper in the house, but not a good choice for the location.
The upstairs bathroom.
This isn't actually all that bad. I'm not a fan floral decorating patterns, but I am a huge fan of purple, and I love violets, but I'd rather see this on a decorative pillow, or as an accent for something, not on a bathroom wall.
The kitchen wallpaper.
This was only put above the chair rail molding, with white paneling at the bottom. It's too dark and heavy for that, and looks like prison bars in what should be a great room to spend a lot of time in.
This is the last example, the wallpaper that is in what used to be the master bedroom, but is going to be a guest bedroom instead.
I'm not a big fan of pink except for accents. How did a man live in this room? It had pink carpet to match.
Soon my walls will be covered in the following Valspar colors:
Our basic neutral for all walls that a color wasn't selected for - Woodrow Wilson Putty.
For three of the walls in the converted garage/party room - Sandy Cove.
The accent wall in the party room - Gypsy Teal.
This is the closest color sample I could get to it, although it seems lighter than this one.
The kitchen - Filoli Honey.
This seems so much more yellow in real life.
The dining room - Silver Dusk.
Seems much paler in person.
The library - Savannah Red.
Looks much redder in real life.
Well, what do you think?
