wallpaper – worth the hassle?

{via}

There is no doubt that the wallpaper trend is back in full-swing.  Pinterest is filled with gorgeous patterned walls and I have to say, I’m second-guessing my anti-wallpaper stance.

When I see wallpaper, I’ve always seen work.  Work to remove and have a pretty, clean, paintable wall underneath.  Since I lean toward clean, white backdrops, heavily patterned walls haven’t really been my cup of tea. 

But some of these fresh and fun walls have me rethinking.

Surprisingly, this white-loving girl is falling in love with these moody dark patterns.

The mainly white master bath redo above is punctuated by this dark wallpapered nook.  You’ve GOT to click over and see the space.  Lovely.

And of course, some subtle light patterns are nice too.

Florals always win me over.

But even with all of these gorgeous statement walls, I have the lingering question in my mind, “Is it worth the hassle?”  If my husband is still reading this (he may have had a heart-attack at the title), I know he’s screaming, “NO!!!!!!!”

I think as soon as I had it on the wall, I’d be blown away by the statement it makes!

But here’s my issue…I change my mind.  Like a lot.  When it comes to style and pieces in a room, I fall head over heels and one year later (sometimes one month), I’m ready for a change.  It’s just the way I’m wired.  I’m always designing and then re-designing and re-designing.  I love it.

So while I’m really considering statement walls for some future projects, I’m just not sure I could commit knowing I would probably grow tired of it.

I’m so in love with these statement walls in Lay Baby Lay’s small closet makeover.

But here’s the amazing part.

That ISN’T wallpaper!  I know…shocker.  She painted the walls black and then had fun with a gold Sharpie and some light pink paint.

Now those are some statement walls I could get behind.  Yes, it would take a little time (she said three hours total), but when I wanted a change, you just paint over it easily.

Maybe I’ll have to try out some statement walls with the feel of wallpaper somewhere that my husband doesn’t have to look at a ton.  My closet?  The office?

I’m antsy to try it out!  And, I’m anxious to hear y’all’s opinions.  Any wallpaper lovers out there?  Is it worth the hassle?

Any classic wallpapers you’ve loved that have stood the test of time (and maybe my re-designing indecision)?
