Wallpaper V. Stencil??

Finding remnants of the old wallpaper got me all jazzed up about putting some wallpaper in Heavenhill. I don't want to go completely primitive with HH but more classy with some splashes of yesteryear here and there. I started looking at websites that host an amazing collection of vintage wallpaper. It is sooo much fun!

Then I started thinking about art..if it is too busy, you can't really put anything on the walls b/c it will clash with whatever is hung..plus nail holes in wallpaper... eeek!

So I thought just segregating one wall in the Kitchen for the wallpaper so it can be the art and then wrapping it into the hallway. Yes!!

I also am looking for that perfect color too..Are they too bright? too dark? Is it my Monitor?

After I narrowed my selections down I then made some mock ups of the kitchen in PAINT..mmhmm...that is not a typo! I no longer have PS since I bought my new laptop...sooo this is all that I could do.. so please don't laugh.

Also, I started looking at the stenciling idea. They have some groovy patterns out there and I think it may be easier..painting and stenciling vs. hanging wallpaper?

The cost would probably be lower too. Yes, I don't have to texture the walls if I wallpaper..but wallpaper is expensive and then the labor of hanging it.

Also.. it's a permanent deal. But it's SOOO Cool too! (I never thought I would ever say wallpaper is cool!)


Soo..what do you think? Which one do you like?
