Is there anything worse?

-Tacky? Check
-Looks terrible? Check
-Pain to remove? Check

And here I was thinking this was going to be a cool desktop wallpapers thread.

Got my hopes up.

My grandparents moved into a house in the early 80's and one of the bedrooms was decked out in some totally bitchin' 70's Star Wars wallpaper. I was devastated when they eventually took that wallpaper down.

not hard to remove if installed properly, but most people don't do it correctly.

Not really you don't.

The kitchen at my house junior year had chicken and egg wallpaper that I didn't notice until we were cleaning the walls to move out.

The kind of wallpaper that I would actually not mind having is not worth it. Would be less expensive to laminate $5 bills to the wall.

I am much more of a paint person. Love changing colors.

No suprise here that paperclams loves wallpaper since wallpaper sucks.

I'm actually installing wall paper in my office next week. Dry Erase wall paper to be exact. I'm actually very

They said, "hey doom_Catz, we can just get you a dry erase board." I said no... I want the whole wall to erase.

super elitey designer types refer to wallpaper as wall covering.

FWIW.

Paint is superior

pissclams · « **Reply #22 on:** August 28, 2012, 07:24:15 PM »

paint, wallpaper, wallpaper, paint. does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? probably not but it's great that we have this bbs to exchange such ideas.

some wallpaper, some paint? some paint and a lot of wallpaper? i don't know the answer, who do i look like, david bromstad? (i wish!)

regardless of where you fall on this issue, i won't judge you. i won't pretend that my way is better, that it better be my way or it's the highway. because that's just not the case.

just like maverick and goose said in Top Gun, "I feel the need—the need for speed!"
